Reader Software for Windows 2000 (without internet connection)
I figured this would be the most likely part of the forum to find someone who knew if this was possible.
I'm off on holiday for a couple of weeks to a place where there is no Internet. I'm not taking a laptop with me, but I want to take the Reader. A friend there has a PC with Windows 2000, but the Sony Connect software says it needs XP or Vista. I would like to be able to transfer books to and from the Reader (I was going to take a DVD full of ebooks that need sorting and/or converting). Any ideas? Thanks |

Thanks Alex - that's great! I'd thought about taking the Connect Reader Software on a CD or USB, but it was the Win2k issue that was the real problem. Looks like someone has already solved that one here. I'll report back on how I get on.
This is a great forum |

Of course there is always the 2GB SD card full of books you could bring. |

I'm sure you would have mentioned if you had one, but have you thought of just bringing/buying a dirt cheap SD card and a card reader? Can just pop in your DVD, copy the files you want onto the SD card, and use them in the reader immediately after. No more OS concerns.
