I only use Sony Library Software - not Calibre.

I purchase books from the Sony Reader Store and they download to my hard disk under Purchased Books. Then I copy and paste them using the Sony Software to the proper Collection Title.

After I synchronize the Sony Software on my PC with the PRS 900 Reader they all arrive under the proper Collection Title on the PRS 900.

I use my PRS 900 just for occasional reading when away from home. Mostly I use the Sony Library Software to read ebooks. I also read ebooks with the Barnes & Noble eReader Software and the Amazon Kindle Softare for PC's.

I always check the pBook number of pages for books on my Wish List and sort by Page / $ Price to buy the most number of pages per buck spent. If BN and Amazon have decidedly cheaper prices than the Sony Reader Store, I buy those ebooks there since almost all my reading is on the PC. I always keep at least one ebook currently being read on the PRS 900 for away from home reading.
