Need help with getting books on my E Reader

Keef · 05-22-2010, 07:46 AM

I went to www.gutenberg.org and downloaded a book. I then double clicked on it and it caused my Sony Reader software to open up and I see the book. The question is how do I move it to "my books" folder? I tried to import, and move it over with my mouse to no avail. I am using a Mac.....not sure if that makes any difference.

Under Computer (on the left hand side) the book opens up and has a Epub name. But I cant figure out how to put it in my books folder.

I understand now. You need to highlight it and move it to the library with your mouse.

Hmm, it worked for 2 books but now with another one it won't move up to the library. I am at where it says computer on the left and on top the file is computer/downloads and the file is highlighted. Argh

Give Calibre a try

It's a lot more intuitive than the Sony software: http://calibre-ebook.com/

This forum has an entire subsection dedicated to Calibre as well
