Hi, I've read the past forums on this and I'm still having a real problem. I've got a Mac, my ADE is version 1.7 and my Sony reader is a 505. I can download an ebook into ADE but I can't get it into calibre to add it to my Sony, everytime I try an drag it across it won't leave ADE. I can't add it via calibre as the file and library option is greyed out. I've tried to authorise the sony on both the original PC I used it on and the new mac I just bought but can't find this option anywhere. Please help, its driving me nuts ow and I'm not very technical! Thanks in advance.

    You are making it too complicated -- just copy the file onto the Sony Reader using the Finder.  If you don't know where the file is, Digital Editions will list the location in the More Info dialog.

    Note this will not work for books that you got from a Library.  The only way to successfully get those books onto a Sony Reader is to use Digital Editions on Windows.

    Thank you so much! I think I had read so much about how difficult this was going to be and how incompatible everything was going to be that I expected the worst - this is so easy now - thanks again!

    This in so longer true... Sony has come out with the Library app for the Mac, and, once you've downloaded the book from your public library, and authorized it with Adobe Digital Editions, you can import it into the Sony Library software and transfer it to the PRS Reader.

    NOW, If Adobe could just get the Digital Editions app to recognize the PRS Reader (which it still won't do) we wouldn't even need toe Sony Library software and could go backto Calibre.

    I still don't really TRUST Sony with an app that talks to their servers, after the fiascos with the rootkits on CDs a few years back.

    I do like being able to check books out of the library...that's just COOL!
