PRS-505 Copy all books off

QuiGonJohn · 12-27-2011, 09:12 AM

Hi and help, We were just given this model Sony by our parents, the acct on it is still active. However, we also bought, on our own, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. My wife will want to use the Tab more than the Sony. I know the tab supports a Sony E-Reader App.

How can I get the books off the Sony, onto a PC and then onto the Samsung Tab?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

The PRS-505 will show up as removeable media "READER" in explorer if connected via USB.
Books can be stored everywhere but most probably they are in
/database/media/books

If "the acct on it is still active" should be read that the device is already authorized to a ADOBE ADE Account, then make sure to register the reader-app for the Galaxy Tab using the same credentials (e-mail and password)

Mark, I think we're talking about the same thing. Her parents bought books off Sony and all those books were paid for with an account they still have open. I did copy off that folder, some files were .lrx (which I take to mean Sony Store), others were epub, which I think means they are "open".

.lrx is DRM'ed BBeB the genuine Sony format, now abandoned, and can be redownloaded as epub

epub can also be DRM-protected.

The parents Sony Account is still a Adobe ADE account,
and to my knowledge up to seven (7) devices (PC's reader, reader-apps) can be registered to one account.
As long as your parents dont bother to share their credentials with you. (You would be able to buy on their credit-card)

Otherwise google "Apprentice Alf" to get rid of DRM

So, I could use "Apprentice Alf" to get rid of any DRM. Then I could read them on our Galaxy Tab, correct? Which reader app would I then use to read them on the Galaxy with, (it is Android 3.2 Honeycomb).

Whatever you can get out of App-Store, as long as it supports the DRM-free file-types.
e.g. Coolreader, Moonreader, aidiko, aso>
You may also check over in the androide section here at MR, or in the Sony PRS-T1 "rooted" threads

I suggest Aldiko. It's an excellent app for reading books on Android.
