My one major issue with the software is that they took away the ability to read BBeB format (LRF and LRX) ebooks. I can load the ones I have on my 505 but I can only read them there and not on my PC. That's annoying when I want to review a book I'm creating or one that someone else has made. It's also annoying because there are times when I'm sitting at my PC that I want to read. And, it's also annoying because I object to elimination of a good format. I'm relying on Calibre now for an LRF viewer (but not LRX, of course) and, frankly, although I love Calibre, the viewer is not terrific.

I've had zero problems with the software otherwise.
