Purchased a Sony 650 for my wife. We had the following points, questions:
1. We had downloaded a book from the library to our computer a couple of days ago and installed Adobe Digital Editions. Problem was, the ADE didn't seem to "see" the Reader. We couldn't transfer the book to the reader. (We had opened the appropriate authorization accounts, the software just didn't seem to see the reader).
2. The book was still in our downloads folder and when we opened it in "Reader Library", the book was there and Reader Library "saw" the reader and it was then easy to transfer the book to the reader - weird that one software saw the reader just fine while the other didn't see it at all.
Bookmarks?
3. We were able to set "bookmarks" in the reader by double tapping the top right of the screen, however, there doesn't seem to be a way to navigate to the bookmark. Looked under "Go to", "history" etc, however, we found no way to navigate to a bookmark. The user guide index makes no mention of going to a bookmark, only creating one.... Same for the help pages on-line at Sony...
We could go to another book and the reader remembered the last page we were on, but what if we wanted to go to a specific bookmark? What if two people were using the same reader and one was on page 100 of the book and the other person was on page 200? The only way to go to where we were would be to remember our page and then go to that page. If anyone knows how to go to a bookmarked page (other than by turning pages until you see a bookmark), please advise.
We see no purpose of the bookmark if all it does it put a mark at the top right of a page.
I guess if you're sharing a reader, you want to be reading different books...
4. Also, there was a thread around here on "tips and tricks" for the Sony e-reader, but I can't seem to find it today - if anyone knows where it is, please advise. I was pretty sure I saw one a couple of days ago.
