Where Sony Library Software save my files?

pedgarcia · 08-12-2009, 08:59 AM

I was using the Sony Software in two different computers to manage my files and now I'm trying to get everything organized.

My question is, when you import a file or directory, are you actually copying the file to another location? Where?

Or the software just build a database pointing to the original location?

Thanks!

I have a laptop with the Sony eLibrary on it.

I think it is like you said.."..the software just build a database pointing to the original location.."

The files on my laptop are located in My Documents / My Digital Editions / eBook Library

The ebook files are shown like this ..... cbuscehch000070g

I am not sure what happens if you rename the file (in this location) to the title of the book.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your answer. So it seems simple moving my files to a single location (what I should do from the beginning).

At least for PDFs, you can rename the file because what it uses is its metadata (AFAIK).
