Hi, new here. Had to regsiter just to be able to join you all in venting some steam over Sony software. I have a new PRS600, use it with vista home ed. Managed to get sorted out initially with adobe digital editions and the reader software. yesterday i bought a new book, no big deal save for price (outrageous), popped it on the reader... then i decided to update the software to version 3.1 as i got a pop up about it. now i can't open the library at all. i've tried all the suggestions above, nothing will work.

I'm now using Calibre.

Struggling a bit with the lingo and everything i have legitimately bought now seems blocked because of DRM. Calibre isn't too clear on it but from this forum i've gathered that even though i won't be able to view the books on my computer using calibre, if ive added them from my digital editions i should be able to transfer them to the reader and read them on that? I bloomin hope so. I'm fed up!!!

Thanks everyone for your advice.
