Good evening,

I am just a little lost.

I have just purchased a Sony PRC - 600. In my reading of reviews it was indicated that the software provided for the reader was not as good as Calibre...consistently froze up. Calibre was recommended... So I have downloaded calibre onto my destktop.

I recenly purchased several books from different sources and they wound up on the Sony reader program 3.1 that I downloaded today onto my computer. Files are EPUB.

I have just charged my reader not turned it on and not tried to load any books onto it. The question is how do I get these files onto Calibre. When I try to "add these books" to Calibre....I cannot get the the folder where these files are stored. In my files, all I seem to find is a short cut which launches the Sony reader..but no where where I can grab the files and put into Calibre?

Next comment: How will I load calibre onto my reader itself? Sounds stupid I know...but just an old country boy? Also will I have both the Sony program and the Calibre program on my reader....will that cause a problem.

Not at all sure where to go from here. Would one of you professionals guide me tell me what to do..

Sam
