missing PRS505 install CD?

hapax legomenon · 08-15-2008, 01:45 AM

Wow, I just got around to putting ebooks on my new PRS505, and I can't seem to find my install CD! How annoying! It's possible I may have misplaced it, but it's equally likely the CD wasn't included.

Does anyone know if there's a way I can download it? (I know there have been significant upgrades).

I have an older PRS 500 install CD. The problem is that I plan to install things on Vista 64, and I'm not sure I can install it on 64 bit.

i have access to XP, but at some point I'd like to make my vista box my main box. Suggestions?

I'm leaving for a trip overseas in 2 weeks. So getting a quick solution is ideal.

Thanks. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. I thought the Sony download was only for the update, but apparently it was for the store as well.
