Hi, Jazz -

While I cannot answer to your "lost" place comment, I can tell you that what you are experiencing with the library books is "normal."

"Normal" in that it is a known Overdrive bug that you cannot have library ePub books AND library PDF books on your Sony device at one time. You can have them in your Calibre, Sony reader or ADE library, but they cannot be on the reader at the same time.

My solution is to just check out books in either format ... that way I don't have to remember which is which... YMMV.

Guess we'll just have to wait to see if Overdrive/Sony/Adobe fix this bug.

Happy reading!

Marilyn

P.S. Remember, this only applies to LIBRARY books (as far as I know). All other formats that the Sony can read and that are NOT from the library download to and work fine on the reader (PRS-300). Take care.
