Love the 505...but ADE, not sure
Finally got to get my hands on the 505 (it had been sitting under the tree) and I love it, Calibre is a great help, the only thing I'm not happy with so far is having to download and use Adobe Digital Editions for some purchases from Waterstones, I'm a newbie but I did not see an option to download in any other format, I'm not use to handing over the controls to a pile of arrogant code like ADE, I'm not even sure where my books downloaded to on my PC, any of you have any tips that I should know using this program? Anyway, really enjoying the 505!

Interesting. I never knew any code that was arrogant. It is just a line of text. Pretentious, sure, but arrogant... nah.
BTW: Learn to buy a format like .LIT or Mobi which the DRM can be removed from and then the file can be converted to an LRF or ePub with calibre. BOb |

They are probably in My Documents\My Digital Editions.
Some recent UK ebooks only seem to be available as Secure Adobe ePubs, so in a sense you are ahead of the game since at least the PRS-505 can read them. Most US publishers release all their titles in several Secure formats. As pilotbob says, if you are comfortable striping DRM (encryption) then your best bet is to buy MS Reader (LIT) or MobiPocket (MOBI) ebooks. |

Wallcraft, thanks for your help, the files were right there of course, my excuse is "snowed in and couldn't get coffee" or I would have found them. Bob, thanks also, I would write more but I would look even sillier to use the word "arrogant" twice in the same thread.
