Hello From UK Cumbria
Hi all,
Just joined mainly to see if I can get help from anyone with my ebooks. Over the years I have purchased and also downloaded free books. I never did take to reading from a pc . I have now bought a sony ereader Prs 505, and find that many of the books I have bought in PDF format wont convert as they are "DRM"ed they are readable but not very well formated I would like to know if anyone has successfully managed to fix this problem.

Thanks Gerry

There may be ways to remove the DRM, but we can't discuss them here.

But the formatting problem will remain. PDFs just aren't a good ebook format.

I can highly recommend calibre, which does a great job converting lots of other ebook formats to Sony Reader format (LRF)
