Hi dmunsil, could you please tell me how ?! Step by detailed step would be great for this technodunce (Thanks neilmarr, lovely term).

There they are, sitting in my Copia Library, plain to see - could have done without another library, to be honest - but I can't get anything to do anything !

I've got my Sony , Adobe, Calibre Libraries eager and ready, but how the hell do I get the books there ?
I saw someone simply got them straight into Sony Reader library without a problem - oh envy...........

Open your Reader software, click on File (on the upper menu) and select Add folder. Choose your Copia library and that's it, all the books will appear on your Sony library and you can add them to your reader from there.

Hope this helps.

Thanks to all who provided info on exactly how to download the books--I probably would've been lost and confused otherwise. I really wanted Shoeless Joe and now I'm a very happy camper!

Thanks

Downloaded the 7, but am only interested in 3 (Brave New World, Red Alert, Slaughterhouse Five). I didn't bother with the romance stuff.

"Hope this helps. "

HOPE THIS HELPS.....?

Did it ever !!!

Adanzas, you're a star, that's gone into my "never forget this" collection of cribs & tips - marvellous, thank you so much. Bunged 'em in without a whimper - definitely fooled the dread machine (P.C.) into thinking I knew what I was doing !
'Course, I do now ! (fingers xing, wood tapping).
I'd EVEN give you a personal smilie if I could get the things to work, but here's my attempt -

Always wondered if I'd ever use that bit up the top.

Koland - flushed with success, I shall consult your tip also, but just at this point, I have to go out and buy some ducks................

Hope that helps!

Don

Your instructions were great & worked perfectly! Thank you!

Don't bother reading or even downloading A Passage to India. It's one of the worst book ever written and it's a waste of your life to actually read it. It's even a waste of your life to download it and then have to delete it.

svenlind · 03-05-2011, 11:34 AM

I downloaded a couple of the free books. And then I tried to buy a book, but as far I can see this is only possible for US citizens

.
I am very fond of Amazon, but I would really have liked to have an alternative shop.

rogerVA · 03-05-2011, 03:06 PM

Could somebody direct me to the one post that gives easy directions regarding downloading these books?

I'd be downloading them and converting them to Kindle-friendly on Calibre. Anybody had any luck doing that?

dmunsil · 03-05-2011, 05:57 PM

I added the step-by-step instructions to the first post. Enjoy!
