Not sure where you are located but the Sony Library software is required to purchase books from the Sony story. Of course is you are not doing that, it doesn't matter.

Kenny,

Thanks for responding. Yes, I first search the mobileread forums but couldn't find anything that addressed the concerns I have. I'm really not interested in using Sony's new version of eLibrary--the DRM and tracking of what people are reading is even worse than it used to be. For similar reasons, I'm not interested in participating in Sony's attempt to corner the ebook market through its online store, which isn't any better than Amazon's attempt, and it doesn't sell much that's of interest to me...

After two and half years of using the PRS-505, I really think ereaders in general should allowed the individual the freedom to control what they're reading, without tracking back data, supposedly "anonymous," but used and mined in ways I don't believe are appropriate and open to scrutiny, nor would survive it, I dare say.

Wipe & replace! Anyone know of a possibility?

Fred
