Hi all,

I have a Sony PRS-505 that I just got last week. I am loving it so far, but I'm having a hard time trying to format/convert files and downloading the necessary software to do so. I downloaded Calibre and that seems to be working fine. This is where I'm getting stuck. I've tried to download Python countless times and when I try to open it, I get an error message saying "This Installation Package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package." And then, I know there are steps once this is downloaded (I'm looking for how to convert mobi, microsoft reader, and ereader to lrf files), and I also know these steps cannot be discussed openly on this forum. So, I'm hoping someone will be able to send me a message privately and help me. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
