Hey everybody. First time posting, so please don't be so rough with me if I ask a common question.

I just got my PRS-505 a few days ago, and I love it. I had downloaded a few e-Books off the internet in PDF format, and put those on the reader via Sony's software. I then realized that there was no way to edit the title / author / any data for the e-books, so I downloaded calibre and changed all of the metadata to what I wanted. However, when I changed the files and added the new ones into the Sony software's library, the old author / title came up. :-(

I'm torn between the programs. If I was just able to edit information in Sony's program, I wouldn't have any need for calibre. I like the collection feature on the 505, and have found that when I try to use calibre to mimic the collection feature using tags, when I check the collection on the 505 the collection is all out of order. I guess I can't win. :-(.

So yeah, questions:
1 - Easiest way to edit data and make it permanent?
1a - If I download free books from Sony's store, is there any way I can edit those titles / authors as well?
2 - Any way to manage a collection's order in calibre?
3 - Is PDF a bad format for my eBooks? If so, what should I convert to, and how would I go about doing that?

Thanks for all your help, guys.
