At the advise of people on this forum, I am going to purchase a Sony PRS 505 tonight, and I want to download library books onto it from my public library.

The library uses a service called Overdrive, they have books with a .pdf extension, but the fiction I've been downloading has a ebx.edt extension -i download these books into adobe digital on my laptop.

Here's my question, do I need to have my Sony reader connected to my PC via usb when i download a book? Or will I be able to drag it from Adobe into my Sony reader later. Do I need to install Adobe Digital on my reader?

I read that .pdf files don't render well on the reader, but if the library is downloading in an .edt extension, how will they look on the Sony reader? Will they import more accurately than a .pdf file?

Also, If I download a .pdf file from the library, I can't take the .pdf library file and convert it with Calibre to put on the reader, is that correct? I thought once I put a library book into Adobe Digital I couldn't move it anywhere.

This is all so confusing, I just want to know what I'm doing so that I'm ready when my ereader comes later this week.

Thanks so much for the help.
