How do I pull eBooks off PRS-505 and Newbie advice
I just got a used 505 from ebay. The seller warned me that the books would disappear once I hooked it up to the reader software.

After reading a lot of stuff here I would like to use Caliber instead of the Reader software to avoid these issues (and Caliber is cooler anyway).

What is the best way to archive off the existing books? Will the device show up as a USB drive so I can just copy off the files? Or will Caliber read and import the files from the device? (I only see the Send to Device button.)

Many of the books are classics/Guttenburg books, but others are more of a hack job. I would love to pull them into Caliber and fix some of the Meta information.

Any advice for first time owners of a PRS-505?
