Help! I've bought an ebook!

Traye · 05-16-2010, 11:10 AM

Hi guys.

I've taken my first foray into buying an ebook. I've done that, checked out, downloaded it and it's now sitting in Adobe Digital Editions.

Now what do I do with it? Can I plug my Sony 505 in and drag and drop?
This is the first time I've done this, so don't laugh!

Thanks in advance.

Hya Traye: First thing to do, I'd suggest, is to find some simple but effective library software. Like many here, I'd advise you to download the free Calibre programme (developed by an MR member) and use that. Takes a very short while to download Calibre, and then it becomes evident how to pop your books into it from wherever they currenly hang out and put them into your machine within seconds. So easy. Good luck. Neil

Thanks for such a quick reply Neil.

I already have Calibre and I managed to add the book I bought to it no problem. Thanks for your help.
