Okay, quick question....
I just got my 600 (boyfriend got it for my bday, what a sweetie, huh?) annnnnddd....my computer stopped working. I sent it away to have it totally wiped out and redone and I guess my question is-how do I get my version of the Sony ebookstore back? I bought my 505 and it came with the disk, but I cannot find it and dummy me, I gave my other 505 away . If I download it online it gives me the new version, and I have to say for some reason it's not striking my fancy. Thanks, fellas!
P.s. Not "my" version, but you know what I mean, lol! |

If the version you are looking for is the eBook Library 2.x, Borders seems to still have a link to it on their website: http://ebooks.borders.com/content/borders/index.shtml
And the direct link, for records: http://download.sony.com/prs/ebookli...0Installer.exe Hope this helps |

If I'm not mistaken, you need to have version 3.0 or later to sync the 600. But I'm often mistaken

Thanks, I'll have to try it, I get my computer back 2morrow-can't wait!!! Another question I have is-will I still be able to read all my books? My computer's still authorized to my account and all, but I was worried that if he (the guy who's fixing my pc) erased everything off my computer I won't be able to read the books I have. Does anyone think that will be a problem? Thanks for ur help!!!!

You know what, before my pc took a poop on me I hooked it up to my pc to authorize it and I could put books on it, so I don't think that will be a problem (?). At least I hope not, lol. I'm not too saavy when it comes to finding the solution to a problem, ha ha!

Okay guys and girls, big moment-I get my computer back, log into my account, and it says "authorizing pc to account". So now I essentially have 2 computers, the before computer got fixed/after computer got fixed. Can I um, fix that, lol? I went to the sony ebookstore chat people and....let's just say George wasn't very helpful!!!

So will they just be able to combine the "2" pc's I have? Like, one's named "Emily's home pc" & the other is "Computer 4". Do I just ask them to make them into 1 auth/1 pc, or will I have 2 auth's/1 pc showing? Does it make sense what I'm asking, lol?!?! Cuz i find i don't make a whole lot of sense sometimes |

Exactly my experience a couple of months ago kenmark. Rename it to something very clear like "SONY - please delete me!", and e-mail or initiate a chat session with Sony. couldn't be easier.

I talked to the ebookstore people and they de-authorized the Emily's home computer and left computer 4 authorized. So it got taken care of, finally! Everyone I talked to kept telling me to de-auth computer 4, but if I did that as soon as I signed back into my account to buy a book it would re-auth, lol. As long as I can read all the books I bought I don't care what they do! Thank you soooo much everyone, I get super confused sometimes.

Whew, I don't know if I was havin one of those days, but for some reason I was just not getting it, lol!!! Thank goodness thats past. Okay, everything has been settled, still reading off my beloved reader. I noticed that when I tried to pop in my SD card that the staus bar would load, load, load and then the reader would shut off. Turn it back on and it would happen again and again. The battery was fully charged, and when I pop the card into my 505 it works just fine. Does anyone have a thought?
Sorry, here I am wantin to ask ONE thing and it turned into a 21 questions question, lol |
