Just bought a Sony PRS505 here in the UK.

Viewed lots of posts around the merits of different software. Have downloaded Calibre but before I get started transfering books to my reader, a few questions just to make sure I'm doing it right!

Do I need Sony's software at all? Most of my book transfers will either be PDFs already on my computer or LRF files from CD? No short term intention to buy from Waterstone's, W H Smiths etc

Is there an idiots guide to the basic transfer of books from Calibre to the Reader?

How do you delete books off the reader?

When I attempt to remove books from Calibre it says they will be removed from my computer?

Hope this early request for help isn't in the wrong place!!
