So I have read many things on here and really I am not sure which software to download. I guess I am not understanding totally. Some people say the software that comes with the reader is not good? Some say to use calibre?

I am also uncertain of which format to download for e-books. I have found a lot of people saying certain ones are better, but then others contradict that. Any specific suggestions?
I would suggest starting out with the Sony software, and later if you don't like it use Calibre. I like Sony's software, personally, but I know Calibre can do a lot more.

If you buy direct from Sony, you won't have to worry about format. If you are downloading elsewhere (like here on MR) you can download .LRF as well as PDF (.lrf is better though). Those are the two big options.

Sony software is here:
