PRS-950 new sony reader 950

lnmumu · 12-27-2011, 08:04 PM

I connected to the sony store, now I think they want me to download the sony store on my Mac. I don't want to be controlled by Sony. I want to download PDF files to my reader. That's why I bought it.

Now when I connect the reader to my MAC OX s 10.6, I get battery charging and cannot bring up the normal screen.

I downloader Caliber. All the books that I want are on Amazon. So I am going to have to use it too.

Is there a way to get my reader unrelated to the Sony store?

I am in Japan. Maybe that has something to do with this problem.

In order to read Amazon books on your Sony (I do it all the time), you will have to convert them (done easily with calibre).
If the books are DRM protected, you will have to strip DRM. This is easy, too. Google "Apprentice Alf" (we are not allowed to give detailed instructions on this subject here)
