The vast majority of the books are either public domain or creative commons, so there will be few problems with DRM. I never did have ADE on my computer unless it's built into the Sony software. I have a really old version of the Sony Reader software: 2.5.00.09170

So if I can transfer the book onto this software does that put it on the hard drive?

Most of the books are stored on an external hard drive which is locked in a desk drawer. The key to the desk was lost during my house move a couple of years ago. 'One day' I'll get a locksmith to break into it for me!
I kept moving files onto the external hard drive when I had my old XP computer which had only 40gb hard drive.

Please tell me how to move the book files back to the computer as though you were telling a complete dummy! Though I spend lots of time using the pc, some things still baffle me.
Thanks lots.
