Given the number of posts I've seen here with re Sony sync problems, I'm not even a little bit tempted to try it. I like the illusion of control I get by manually selecting which books to transfer to, or delete from, my reader.
Sony's sw doesn't attempt to synch if you tell it not to once. And using it gives full control of loading ebooks, not just an illusion.


I've been using Sony's ebook software (various versions) for almost 3 years now, with 3 Reader models, and never had a problem. (lrx, lrf, ePub, ADE from online library...) I don't synch--just drag&drop books onto the reader icon. Always works fine for me. I wouldn't call it buggy.
