Okay, I have been using the Reader Library software and actually like it. I only use it to transfer books downloaded from the library and it works well for that.

I installed a new hard drive the other day, reinstalled OSX Leopard, and then restored the apps from a backup. The Reader Library would not work correctly so I decided to reinstall it. Since I may "upgrade" to Lion one of these days I decided to see if Sony had software that was truly compatible with Lion and downloaded Son Reader for Mac which they say is compatible.

Has anyone actually used Sony Reader? I absolutely hated it. It was so annoying. Gone was the ease of dragging and dropping the books into the reader. You had to choose the files and do a sync similar to the horrific iTunes. The program seems to be a huge step backwards and is very slow in comparison to the older Sony Reader Library. Needless to say I uninstalled it and reinstalled the Sony Reader Library. It works seamlessly with downloads from the library and I have no complaints with it, the new Sony Reader for Mac however is horrible.

Has anyone used it with any better results?
