If you are happy with English books, and don't mind pretending you live in the US, various mobileread members are very generous with their time when it comes to purchasing gift cards that you can use. This link here... https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49025 ...contains some recent activity. There are also loads of other bookstores - I read a fair bit, and have found only one book I wanted to read that was available at the Sony store but at none of my preferred sites. Search the forums for tips, or PM me if you want a list of my favourites. amjb |

# Region selection during eBL install # Dialog displays when ini file has US region only for work around of eBLsetup bug EBLSELRGNPATH=~/Library/Caches/eblselrgn I didn’t quite undersatand what you meant by “icon with silver gear”, but I went and changed the country from Hong Kong to US in the System Preference, reinstalled the software, restarted the machine and that’s it. It works!!! It seems that for those of us not in the US, the region where your computer is set up does affect the installation. Anyway, thanks again. |

Lots of people seem to be having problems with 10.5.8 - you could try that Tiger workaround I used successfully previously (try installing the application on a new account) - but it may be better to tell Sony about it, it sounds endemic.

France: the shop switch to Fnac and rediret me on a outside web page of Fnac web site. English set to United Kindon I be directed on Waterstones.com/books etc. Only in English and United States configuration Ebook Library use its internal shop, but If I go to "my account">"update credit card information" in the fild Country I can choose only between Canada and United States. If i need some book I'll use the opportunity mentioned by amjbrown (or I use Books on Board)! |

One rule is that if something you've installed does not work, stop everything you have running at startup and see if that fixes the problem. Then add them back in one by one until you see what is the problem. All the OS X people with problems with eBook Library 3.0 should try this.
