View source for Sony PRS-650 Reader Touch Edition

== History ==

2019-01-31 - Wrestled (again) to put an Overdrive eBook onto it. Finally succeeded on the PC [[Murre]].

Purchased around 02/2011

=== Using Calibre software ===

I used to use Calibre all the time.

Use Calibre to convert PDF files into Epub files; reading PDFs on the Ebook is not very satisfying. You can't really change the font size because the pages are laid out wrong if you do.

== Transfer library books to reader ==

=== Preparation ===

# Install and authorize Adobe Digital Edition on your computer, which means setting up an account.
# Sometimes you have to "deauthorize" and then "authorize". It's under the Help menu. The error is something like E_NOT_ACC_RDY or whatever.
# With the ebook reader plugged into your computer, download and install the Sony Reader Library software, and set up and account, and activate your reader with the account. The Mac software is here https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/downloads/W0010083

This time around (1/2019) I had better luck with the PC but YMMV.

'''Checking out books'''

# Download the book in epub format using Adobe Digital Edition (the only way the library gives you to download epubs).
# Open the Sony Reader program. Use File->Import File to import the epub. 
# Drag the epub from the "bookshelf" to your device.

'''You can't transfer books in Adobe, only in the Sony program.'''

That's it.
