Not sure if this is the thread to post this or not. I have a question about the best way to keep a book that I've purchased and read without cluttering up the reader. I bought a 2 GB SD card with the idea of transferring my finished books to it and removing them from the reader. That way, if I ever want to read the book again, I can either read it directly from the SD card or transfer it back to the reader memory.

I tried following the instructions in the 600 manual and get a successful transfer to the SD card, but am leary about deleting the books from the Sony eLibrary for fear of losing the books entirely. How can I store my books on an SD card and delete them from the reader and even the library on my computer? Will automatic synchronization cause the book to be deleted from the SD card as well as my library? I certainly don't want to do that.

By the way, I've been borrowing books from both the local library and the Boston Public Library. The download is a piece of cake and, when I'm finished reading the book, I right click on the book and select return book. It would be nice to be able to do that with my own books and have them simply stored on the SD card. I would also like to loan that card to a friend to read a book that I'm finished with, but that's another subject.
