Sony PRS-500

I just acquired a Sony PRS-500 in a roundabout way. It's old, but works, I guess. It came with nothing but a charging cable and a kinda bizarre assortment of books on it, all of which I deleted except one.

Anyway, I know nothing! Clue me up, people! What do I need to know?

(I'm using OSX and have found Docudesk's PRS Reader already.)

Oh, also, I think I saw somewhere that there was a DW comm for people making ebooks of fanfic. I can't find it through interest search. Anyone know what I'm thinking of?

I have the PRS-500... you know it's really not THAT old. Okay it's probably 3 years old, but the one I got I bought from someone who had them in stock in their original boxes never opened. It does come loaded with a bunch of books and excerpts of books.

But yes, use Calibre to convert things and it will upload to the device also. I don't know if Sony made any software for it that works with Macs. Looking at their website and ... Nope. But if you want to look at the manual for it, you can get it there.
