Thanks for all the comments and assistance.
I think I have fixed it (I hope).
The invalid format error message left me with the sole option to reformat the memory and lose all the books on it.
This I did.
I then reloaded books using Windows and NOT Sony eLibrary software.
It now works fine.
I think the problem was my impatience plus the very slow Sony software - I disconnected while the software was still going and that scrambled the files, giving me the error messages.
In future I will not use Sony.
FYI, the Windows (Vista) directory is found as follows:
1 My HDD drive directory shows 3 external disks for the eReader. The first of these is the one you need.
2 Drill down the directory list - /database/media/books/ and copy the files across to /books/
Works OK for me.
