I've looked thru here trying to find a similar problem but haven't found one yet, so I thought I'd start my own. I have a PRS-600 which installed the library s/w (version 3.1.00.120740 - supposedly the latest) both at home and at work. I also have an SD card (2GB) installed for primarily work files.

I am Now learning that it is very restrictive in what you can do. And that it's directory structure makes no sense whatsoever. I have a lot of pdf files from work that I want on it and I am slowly getting them in there. I've found that any "collection" folder you create will have a copy in the 'book' folder also. but this thing is now throwing me a wild one.

I created a folder called 'Active Directory' where I want files related to that located. I put in one called "ADR" that is 74.8KB is size. It took a bit, but I finally got it into the right folder. Only to find out that it is also located in "Library - Books' and 'Reader - Books' and 'SD Card on Reader - Books'. along with extra copies of a smaller size (53.1KB) that are synced somewhere.

HUH!?!?

How can I get rid of these smaller ones?

And is sony or anyone coming out with a better library program? I don't want to see every single book and pdf file listed under the "Books" icon on my reader. I tried one called "calibre" but it is not much better structure-wise that the sony version.

Any and all help is welcome.
