Scenario: I have a non-DRM PDF on my 900 that is not on my work PC, but I want to transfer a copy there. Although I could/should use Windows Explorer or Calibre, I tried using the Reader Library software to copy it to my work PC by connecting the reader and dragging the PDF from the reader library to the main Library icon at top left of the screen. It appears to transfer, the Status reports "complete," and I can now open the PDF from the main library.

Question: Where did Reader Library put my PDF on my PC? I have looked in the My Documents and Sony folders and all related sub-folders and have also done a file search on all of the drives connected to my PC. I then thought maybe all that happened was the Reader Library created a link to my 900, so I disconnected the 900 thinking I would not be able to open the PDF from the PC, but it opens just fine without the 900 connected. Does the Reader Library create some totally encrypted file???

I know there are other and easier ways to do this transfer, so at this point I am just curious about what happened.
