If others had replied to this forum and said, "ADE works with my Sony just fine," I would have been spinning my wheels wondering what I was doing wrong -- not even thinking that we might have different operating systems. I'm glad you thought of it. ![]() |

I have a Mac too so that's why I thought of it.
![]() I have read other posts in the past from people that they have not been able to transfer Overdrive library books from calibre to their 350/650's. I think it has something to do with the way the time expiration works. It seems that in previous posts most people recommend to use ADE to transfer library books. However, for a Mac user, ADE is not an option, and the Sony Reader software is what you should use. |

Before you shared this tip, I was disappointed that I couldn't have an entry in my Calibre library for Overdrive books. Then I employed an inferior workaround: With the book in my reader device, I opened Calibre and copied the epub file from my hard drive into the Calibre Library. Although I now made the book appear in my Calibre Library, the book wouldn't sort properly on my device as per my Calibre preferences. With your method (transfer from the device, not from the HD), the book sorts properly on the device. Perfect solution! I tried this too, and it operates just as you describe. Also a good tip to know. (BTW, it still sorts properly on the device when you re-add it.) |
