NEWBIE IN A RIGHT MUDDLE - HELP!

tonyt · 09-26-2009, 05:54 AM

Hi - NEWBIE IN DISTRESS!

I have a 505 and use a Mac 10.5.8 Today I downloaded my first ebook, Dan Brownes latest from Waterstones.
During the process I was asked to download Adobe Digital Editions which I did. I am not sure I registered it properly or if I even can on a Mac. However I got a link in an email from waterstones for the book, downloaded it and can now read it in ADEd.
What I can't seem to do is get it onto my 505 and have got myself in a right muddle! I do not have the Sony Library thingy installed as I have read it causes problems / locks up / etc., I have been using Calibre. Maybe I do need the Sony Library app. If I do, where can I get it and is it free? Would I need to keep ADEd. on my machine?
Sorry for all the questions but I have been going round in circles and searching the forums makes me even more confused.
I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WITH A BIT OF PATIENCE TO TRY AND HELP ME OUT, PLEASE??
Many thanks
Tony

You need to install the Sony eBook Library software. You can download it from here:

http://ebookstore.sony.com/download/

If you've not already done so, authorise your Mac with ADE. After you've installed the Sony software, ADE should then detect that a mobile device is connected (ie the Sony), and ask you if you want to authorise that, too. Once you've done that, use ADE to copy the book to your Sony.
