2. I used Callibre to transfer some files. I've read on here (can't find the thread) that I have to stick with either Callibre or the Sony ebook software. What problems would using the Sony software cause at this point? I am interested in the Sony software because of updates.
1. Both the Sony software and Calibre have "eject" buttons for the reader. It's best to use those before disconnecting, just in case something is being written to the reader.

2. You can use both Calibre and the Sony software, just make sure not to use them at the same time! I've done this for quite a while and haven't had any problems.
