Since I already owned the book I figured it was okay for me to convert the book I found online. I was ready to scan each page and put it in the correct form, but I found the book somewhere. To tell you the truth I don't know where I found it, but I was able to convert it to the reader. The book was Rainbow Six.

Thank you, Nathan and Jerry. I had tried that awhile ago, before it was Calibre, with mixed success. I'll take a look at it again.

rcr62 - I should have said - Congrats on the PRS 505! I've had a PRS 500 for almost two years now and never had a problem with the screen. I am fairly careful with it. It is in the original cover. I keep it in my briefcase or purse and, when in my briefcase, I put it between files, magazines, etc. to keep it flat.

No all you have to do is click a button to get the news magazines onto your reader. There's a demo video of it here

Is that the Windows GUI in the Video?? I have yet to figure out how to browse by Cover art I just end up with my library in a list view.

I love the "fetch news" function of calibre. I was wondering if there if are plans to add the international edition of newsweek to it or a way for me to add that myself? I've been playing around with it and can't for the life of me figure it out.

All the GUIS have the browse by cover art feature (you just have to click the black button next to the hourglass) and no it's the linux GUI.

I'm not planning to add the international edition. there is a tutorial on writing your own recipes in the calibre user manual.
