Reader Library

Even though I don't have my PRS350 yet, I do have three items in the Reader Library. And that's my question:
Two of the items have a pink dot in the left bottom corner of the little gold-colored book that's below the thumbnail. One doesn't.
What does this dot mean? I just finished reading the Help file and didn't see it mentioned.

Gudrun

PS I'm extremely frustrated. My device was supposed to be delivered today. Instead I get a notice that it has been delayed until Feb 28.
This is the first and last time I will ever order anything from Walmart.com

That's really a bummer gudrun. At least this gives you time to organize your library :-)

She who waits for something good... (ALWAYS waits too long, or at least that's how it feels). Feb 28, that's waaay to long to wait for something so awsome! Hope they're wrong and you get it sooner!

Quite understandable. Could be a supplier (Sony) issue though?

No, I don't think so. They said it was in stock.
I complained, and they gave me a ten dollar refund, and suddenly the delivery time is closer again by about a week.
Can't say that I'm feeling any friendlier toward them, though.

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues about ordering from Walmart. I didn't know they had the Sony stuff on their site, so thanks for that. I think I looked once before but it was so long ago I forgot. lol I may just snag their little zippered case for my new toy!!

But I've ordered from there many times and have had only one problem. I've ordered electronics, books, DVD's, and a desk. I've only done site to store, which I find quicker firstly and the only problem I had was when I ordered the desk. It's a big glass & metal desk for my desktop computer and the dang thing weighed around 100 pounds. It was delayed coming from the warehouse but they let me know and I was ok with it.

Everything else came in at the earlier estimated delivery date. I've been very happy with their service. Now, if it was something that I'm counting the seconds down as I wait for, yes I see how that would be dreadfully frustrating.

I have no doubts that you'll be happy when the reader arrives safe and sound to you. Did you do home delivery or site to store?

I did site to store and I picked it up today. It is charging right now. I ordered the pink because that's what they had, but I was not at all happy about that. Now that I actually see it, I must say that it is totally beautiful. A nice deep rose color, no "Miss Piggy pink" like I expected.
However, while it is charging, I opened the Reader in Finder (I'm on a Mac) and expected to find a User Guide. There is none. In fact there is almost nothing except three pictures and their thumbnails and three notepad images and a thing called "standby_pic_mediaPath.xml." Also, media.xml and cacheExt.xml.
The quick start guide claims that there are instructions "How to get books" on there, that one is supposed to drag to the desktop. Again, not there. Am I not looking in the right place?

Hi Gudrun!

I'm glad you finally got your new reader. Are you using the Sony Reader Library? If so, open it while your reader is connected to your computer. You should have at least three 'books' on it and those are the instructions for your reader.

You should have:

End User License Agreement
Instructions - How to Get eBooks on Reader
User Guide

Those are on the reader. I made a collection of them calling it Sony Documentation and you might want to put it on your computer as a backup in case of anything.
