I have a workaround for this problem which works on my Sony Vaio with Vista.

I noticed that if my 3G modem was disconnected upon rebooting, then the ebook library magically appeared. You can then connect the internet and everything works fine.

I have also replicated this with my wireless network at home with the same results; if there is an active internet connection upon PC startup then the library remains invisible, if there is no internet connect then it works!

I'm not sure why this works - perhaps Sony checks to make sure you are from a valid country ie US/ Canada/ UK before allowing the application to appear visible.

Regards,

Andrew
