Since this thread seems to be addressing Software ebook readers and ebook managment on a PC, and seems to have added a requirement of syncing with
the OP's device, as well - I find it odd that he wants to rule out Calibre.
I would think that it would be more productive for him to find out why a program
that does exactly what he is looking for, and runs well on a great many computers,
finds his computers problematic. I know trouble shooting your computer's incompatibility will take more effort than trying every other program out there, but it may be that the
other programs will face the same problem that Calibre does. (Especially if the device's
interface drivers are at fault.)
I don't quite see how your computer problem consitutes News, perhaps you would find
more useful replies under "Caliber" or "Reading and Managment"?

Actually no, a "software reader" that is not the issue at hand. What is needed by the OP is a way to manage the ereader device content via your PC. In other words a Library Management tool, like.....drumrolllplease....Calibre...d'oh!! hehehehe...right now Calibre is easil the "best in show" for such apps. As you should have read Kovid, the original creator of Calibre, indicated this is a system level issue for some Win7 Pro installs. And given the subsystem involoved there really is not programatic way around the glitch. In fact it's coin toss if any reader will work properly. There might be problems with other devices as well but only time will tell on that possibility.
