Plug in your Sony

Reader to the

computer. A window

should pop up.(If two

windows pop up,

choose the one called

“SETTING”) Click on

“Open folder to view

files”

Open the file called

Setup Reader Library

for Windows.

In order for your Sony

Reader to work, you

must install the

software the comes

loaded on the device,

even if you are just

going to use the

library’s ebooks

The program will

walk you through

the installation

process

Choose English

and click “Next”

Click “Next”

You will wait

through several

screens. You won’t

have to do anything

here…

Or here…

Click “Next” to

continue the

installation

Or here…

You will have to

accept the “End User

Click “Next” here

Click “Install” here

installed

The program is

now installed.

Click “Finish.”

The program may

automatically open the

website for the Reader

Store. This is where you

can purchase ebooks

from Sony. Close or

minimize this window

for now.

If you are going to use ebooks

from the library, you need to

check “Don’t ask again” and click

“No” on this screen.

O.k. this is the tricky part. The Sony

Reader uses its own software (which

you have just installed), but the

library’s ebooks use Adobe Digital

Editions (which we will install in a

moment). We want the files to be

associated with Adobe Digital

Editions, not the Sony Reader

Software. So…

The next step is to install Adobe Digital

Editions so that you can download

ebooks from the library’s website and

load them on to your Sony Reader.

Close the Sony Reader window and open

your Internet Browser.

Go to

www.jclc.org

and click here to

start

Click here to

download

Adobe Digital

Editions

Click here to start

the download

The link will

automatically take you

to Adobe.com

Scroll down and click on

Launch to start the

installer. (if you need

help installing Adobe

Digital Editions, click

here.

Once Adobe Digital

Editions is installed, you

will need to enter your

Adobe ID and password

If you don’t have an Adobe

ID yet, you will need to

click here to go back to

Adobe.com to obtain one
