I have a Sony 505. Purchased June 9.
Friday, July 25: Purchased 4 books at fictionwise in [.pdb] file format --
It said that was the "recommended" format, and the link to the "how to get books on your sony reader" was messed up, so I figured I could convert something somehow somewhere.
Saturdya, Sunday, & Monday: Spent ANGRILY trying to get the #$%@! books onto my ereader with no luck
Tuesday: 1)Received an email from Fictionwise customer service finally - it was a snarky little thing about how it's Sony's fault that I can't read the books. Nothing useful, nothing helpful, nothing to make me feel better about the $$$$ I spent. Just a complaint to ME the customer.
2)Finally thought to check the mobileread forum (duh me~). Found the link and article and stuff. Downloaded the "Adobe Digital Editions" and the new firmware.
Here's the problem:
-why does fictionwise keep trying to make me download/buy books in their recommended "Secure Mobipocket" Format?
-is there any way to get the secure [.pdb] files onto my Sony 505
-what format do I choose to download in from fictionwise?
(I have received lots of gift certificates to their website, and I want to be able to get some new releases, not just buy the older books that are available in lrf format)
Can someone please please help me? And try not to confuse me with the techie talk. I'm not a total ignoramoose, but I'm no IT person either
