Is your tongue in your cheek when you say "extreme weather". We don't really get very extreme on this little island. My daughter, who cycles to college, has just corrected me and said it feels extreme to her. We managed to dip down to -1degreesC today, so nothing terribly impressive, I'm afraid. Still, I don't really like to set challenges for my car battery,

Here is a link to a thread which debates the merits of the new Sony software versus calibre. I only recently converted my library to calibre and in Post #96 I describe in quite some length about how I made the transition. calibre can be a bit intimidating to learn because it has so many features, but you don't have to take advantage of all of them. It can be what you want it to be.

Really you want to choose one program for synchronization. I picked calibre and set it to "automatic management of metadata" (a very technical way of saying synchronized). When I want to export my notes, then I open the Sony software. I don't have the Sony software setup to sync with my ereaders. I view just that book in the Sony software to export notes to an RTF.
But, I keep hundreds of books on my ereaders and I am really picky about organization in collections and having pretty cover images for the thumbnails. If you only keep a handful of books, then it might be easier to stick with the old Sony software. It can't hurt to try them both and see what you like best.
I was being 50% serious and 50% tongue-in-cheek about the weather. I work with Brits in southern England and all week I have been hearing about the very cold weather and possible snow this weekend. Earlier this week the Daily Mail had a headline that said it was colder than an Arctic sub-station (that's a bit doubtful!). It reminded me when I was in England this summer during a heat-wave and the headlines were all how it was hotter than Istanbul and other exotic locations. The Daily Mail had some entertaining photos today of frozen fountains & waterfalls and also chickens dressed in woolly jumpers to keep warm (they were quite cute but that made me laugh!).
