[Sir Loyne]

Now it just keeps getting stranger. I tried adding a book using Adobe Editions on my XP machine and not only did it update, and the book showed up, and I can open it, but the other two books I added using the Windows 7 computer, both manually and with Calibre ALSO showed up, and I can open them. I can also add books using Calibre on the Windows 7 computer and they show up like normal now. I tried powering the reader off and on and, (and I admit I was feeling bold), I tried adding 4 books all at once. I ejected it and it started "processing content", but seemed to get stuck at 50%. After a few minutes I hit the power button and it went right to sleep, so I suspect the reader wasn't frozen. I woke it back up and the 4 new books were there and open without a problem. It makes no sense.

I am also now able to, while using XP, create an Authors folder in the root directory of the reader and drag and drop epub books into it. All I do is add ".kepub" (w/o quotes) to the end of the file name and I have all of the reading stats (book title in header, pages & time left in chapter, etc) like I would using Calibre. The only downside is that, in the "library" and while sleeping, the book covers are replaced with the book title. A fair trade-off to not have to use a whole computer just for ebooks if you ask me.

I think the moral of the story is that XP is a better OS than anything that MS has come out with since.
