Yes! That gets me past the "secure catalog" screen. But now I'm getting an error message "Error reading catalog data. Please try again later." The first time I got past that screen with the proper password, calibre was running on the computer, but the library window was not open. I restarted calibre and tried again with the library window open--still the same error message. I'll try restarting both the computer and the touch.

Update----
after restarting everything: the Stanza menu item "shared books" leads to a sub-menu "books in calibre" which in turn leads to the list of books in epub format in the calibre library. I believe I'm in business now, and thanks for the program and for the support!

PS: I'm curious about why the publisher column of many of my books says "unbekannt." I do know enough German to know what that means, but I'm puzzled by the language, since so far as I know none of the preferences anywhere on my computer specifies German. (not a problem, just a curiosity.)
