Hey Sony people
Can you use the library with your devices?

YES! come over to the dark side!!
I use my 505 almost exclusively for reading library books. I use ADE and it's super easy to download and put on my computer. THen I use the sony ebook software to organize it into my file marked "library books." At my library, you can check out 10 at a time, and return them early. They automatically go back after 3 weeks if you haven't returned them by then.
I have discovered a pretty cool "loophole," however. If I close the book while I'm reading a library book, and it gets returned (b/c of the three week thing), I can turn on the book again and still finish the book, even though it's been returned already. But if I exit that book, I cannot reopen it again, since it's "expired."
If I have a book on hold and it comes in, I have 3 days to pick it up. If I'm already "full" and have 10 books out, I'll pick one to return, check out the new book, and then not connect my sony to the computer until I've read the book I returned. The reader doesn't know the book is returned until it's connected to the computer.
The PDF is a little small, and I know you can resize it using calibre, but I'm not that tech savvy, so I just read it the way it is, and I'm pretty happy with it.
I love library books!
