Hi,
I'm a newbie Sony Reader PRS-600 user. I got a few questions that I thought you guys might help with:
1) I use Linux (Ubuntu) so I didn't bother using the Sony software, I also don't really buy ebooks. I just drag & drop .pdf files. However, I've recently found out about Calibre (an ebook software) and noticed that I can convert .pdf to many other format. I think Sony's preferred/native format is EPUB. My question is, is there any advantage of using EPUB over PDF? Or is it okay that I just continue to use pdf. Likewise, if I'm not converting anything, why would I use Calibre? I don't really like the way it stores books into subdirectories, so I'd rather not use it (and just stick to another reference manager, like Bibus) unless there is some advantage that I haven't found out about yet.
2) I've noticed that the reader has begun taking longer and longer for processing highlighting. I think it's slower in larger documents. What's the reason for this and what's the solution?
3) I'd love to somehow see the highlights that I made on the reader on my linux desktop. I've noticed some people have been trying to do something like this (see:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...ghlight&page=6) but it was a bit technical. Is there any way you know of to do this?
Sorry if that's a lot. I appreciate the time you take to help me out, in advance. Happy to have discovered this forum.
Cheers!
