Sony ebook reader wifi prs t1

Password Notices Tip Got Facebook? Any tricks? Thanks a lot! In my case I keep my calibre library on a dropbox folder. First you need to know your computer's local ip address: EDIT: you no longer have to open a cmd screen to find your IP address Calibre now detects it and lists it in it's user interface.

It will be on the 3rd line down in the pop-up window. I usually leave Calibre open on my laptop and the server always on. Last edited by Cdesja5; at PM. Thanks to all!!! Very useful information!!!

The ip address is the one labelled IPv4. Should look something like this: I set this address as my home page, it will display the following choices in the Calibre menu on the web page in your reader's browser: - newest - all books - authors - languages - publishers - rating - series - tags Tapping one will bring you to a menu which displays the book covers, synopsis and a "get" button below each cover to allow you to download the book chosen.

I have set this url as my home page so I can quickly open the Calibre link and select books to load wirelessly onto my reader. Calibre has to be open on your computer.

Any app that sends information from your PC to a device requires a server so the data can transfer from one to the other There is a second interface screen too, which takes you to the settings menu and secondary features like the standalone dictionary, audio player, picture gallery and doodle-fest handwriting app. Except Sudoku — there are no games built-in. As does the current state of its existing functionality.

Once this is fixed, though, the PRS-T1 will offer several ways to buy and download novels and newspapers directly. On top of the official Reader Store, the second page of the main menu offers links to Google Books and your treasure trove of public library book rentals. You can also transfer ebooks manually over a wired connection.

Run the setup program on this partition and the PRS-T1 downloads the transfer software from the internet. Not only do you need to install something to transfer files for the first time, you need to be connected to the internet too.

Alternatively, you can jam some files onto a microSD card. Performance with PDF files is good, though. It can play MP3 files, lets you draw pictures and has a web browser.

They are all fairly rudimentary, far outclassed by smartphones and tablets — this is primarily still a one-function device. The built-in music player handles MP3 and AAC files, and has a fairly intuitive interface that incorporates album artwork.

We imagine most buyers of this ereader will have a more competent music player on them most of the time. The note-taking app is virtually the same as it was in previous touchscreen PRS-series ereaders.

There are no greyscale painting options, wiping-out its usefulness as an art tool. However, with a touchscreen and stylus in tow, it would have seemed silly for something like this not to be included. It suffers from many of the same problems other ereader browsers are afflicted with — slow speed, no Flash support and that it turns the world wide web into an archaic looking monochrome world — but the multi-touch touchscreen makes it far more enjoyable to use than most.

Page loading may be slow, but navigating around and zooming in and out is fairly nippy. The E-ink display refreshes every time you alight on a new position, meaning you have to wait half a second or so for the image to become nice and sharp following a scroll around. These cherry-on-top extras are unimportant when stacked up against the basic reading experience of an ereader.

Technically, this is an impressive ereader with specs that best many of its rivals. It offers decent connectivity and expandable memory while being as thin and light as the most waif-ish ebook readers you can buy. It shrugs off the occasionally utilitarian look of ebook readers too, with a glossy black design. However, this can be distracting and there a few serious problems to iron out. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest.

To ensure this is possible, every member of the editorial staff follows a clear code of conduct. We also expect our journalists to follow clear ethical standards in their work. It does do this but I found that the process is not very smooth. Other than the disappointment with the library interface, I found that the reader excellent at all other functions.
