After what seemed like a successful download and install, the new library software hung accessing my e-reader. The LED was flashing orange and red, so it was communicating.

I have about 1250 .pdf, .lrx, .rtf and .epub and .mp3 files on the SD chip. The 3.0.01 software works "ok", but the 3.1 software introduced a very bad bug that manifested in the PC program's waiting about 40 seconds before it accessed the e-book reader after a command like (list directory) was executed via the UI. Now, the 3.2 software doesn't work at all.

What a mess. Luckily I have the older version on another laptop, so I'm not dead in the water. The Sony people have informed me that the previous version is not available for download and "backup". To believe that any piece of software is tested these days, and not have a backup option is really crazy.

I have rarely met a less helpful bunch of people.
