3. Do you have to use the Sony eBook Library software, its a heap of dung as software goes?

4. I also have a ton of Word docs that I save to RTF however when I try to open them I get page invalid. How do I fix this?

OK I think that is all for now....Thanks in advance.
Most of your questions can be answered on the Wiki, expessially for lists of convertion software and ebook sources.

Just a few comments...

3. With the 505 you can just copy books using File Explorer (windows) or whatever your OS provides since it mounts as an external storage device. However, using the sony software to transfer gives the advantage of preformating the book so they will open faster. Although I believe this hit is only taken on the first time you open a book.

4. Hm... do they have PICs in them? Have you tried saving as .txt?
