Got a PRS-T1 at the weekend to replace my much loved PRS-505 which my husband now has.
To sum up, the hardware is beautiful (free library books, yay), but the PC software is a big pile of steaming poo.
I should have used Calibre like normal, but I wanted to back up all my lovely new notes and handwritings. Big mistake.
I now have three copies of most of my books instead of one, trying to delete them makes it crash, every time I try to sync my netbook wants to check the book for faults, Reader for PC constantly hangs and crashes (which is presumably what corrupted the internal memory and caused all these duplicate books that don't work). It's deleted a protected note from the reader, which is still on Reader for PC, which won't sync.
I've made a big list and backup of everything. Hard reset when I get home from work tonight, methinks. Back to Calibre. Oh well. I was looking forward to using Reader for PC to buy books and sort my library books out, but it seems I can do that direct from the reader without all the steaming poo software issues.
So yes. Lovely reader, shame about the software. I'm posting in here partly as a rant, and partly to add my penn'orth, and partly to ask if Adobe Digital Editions/Calibre/just backing it up by drag and drop will back up notes and handwritings so I never have to touch Reader for PC ever again.
