This utility installs eBook Library software version 3.0.01, and provides the following benefits:

*Adds support for the Microsoft® Windows® 7 operating system

The eBook Store Library content and account settings are not removed by uninstalling the software.

*Resolves an issue where transferring content to the Reader using eBook
Library version 3.0 may cause the Reader to stop responding

Found @ sony e-support site select your version 300/505/600/700 (might be different, probably not but just in case)

Great information thanks. I moved this to the front page. Apparently there is no fix/update for the Mac version for Snow Leopard or to deal with some of the other bugs people have been running into.

anybody else here having issues with this version of the ebook library under Windows 7 64bit? it just wouldnt open up even with the compatibility mode.

It's easier to just go to the Sony's eBook store: http://ebookstore.sony.com/download/

You've uninstalled previous version before installing this one, right?
I have no issues here.

Except that you can't buy ebooks from the web site. You must use the software.

After you remove the old version and install the new version do your collections that you have made remain?

Did you have version 3.0 installed? Did you uninstall it first?

I think the OP just meant it was easier to go directly to that link for the new software, than to go to Sony's support pages and filter down through the various choices.

Yes. No problems running it either.

Thank you so much for the heads-up! Hopefully, this will clean up at least some of the ugly mess they left with the last update.

Good news for PRS-500 users:

Quote:

Using the PRS-500 with Windows 7 operating system or 64-bit versions of Windows Vista operating system will require a firmware update for the PRS-500.
Note: To be notified when the update is available please email us at feedback@ebookstore.sony.com with "PRS-500 Update" in the subject line.
