It is not really an issue, but if someone could help me or explain it to me would be great. Since I got a PRS-T1 I (I LOVE IT!)for Christmas, I was able to transfer my books from my Mac to my reader. Some were bought on KOBO and some from the ibookstore (just two). These two from ibook store don't seem te transfer because it says Invalid. It shows as a blank square with title in my Sony ereader library, but I cannot open it. Like I said, its not a big deal, its only two books, I never buy from ibook store but this was from a while ago. Is there a way to have them transferred or just forget about it?
Something else:
I am not familiar with Calibre, I have it downloaded on my Mac and when I plug in my Sony PRS-T1 it seems automaticallyl transfer newspapers (I set that up maybe two years ago?) and don't know how to delete that.
Do I need Calibre, what does it do? Or can I just leave it to the Sony software?
