The library which I have a card for is Alcester library in Warwickshire.

Book_Worm Girl, will this work with a very old version of the Sony software: 2.5? I use this older version because it's so much easier to understand than the up-to-date one. I'm not sure that the old version is ADE based.

I managed to peruse the help section etc of the library only to discover that all the books are epub, which doesn't look great on the 505. I normally convert to lrf using Calibre, but I don't suppose I'd be able to do this with a library book.

I'm considering purchasing a new epub based ereader. Perhaps I'll leave library-borrowing until I have my new one, if I can decide upon which to buy. There's a shortage of the type I like:buttons rather than touch. But that's another topic.

Thanks for all the help.
