To get started, you will need A personal computer or laptop An internet connection or data service A Sony PRS 500, 600, or T1 eReader A sync cable for your device And an eLibrary card for the World Public Library During this tutorial I will be using the Chrome browser, but these steps will work for all major browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Let’s begin: Connect your Sony device to your computer using the sync cable provided with your device. Your device will notify you when it is properly connected. If you are using a T1 reader, you will need to click Data Transfer Mode to proceed. Now, using your computer, open a web browser and navigate to the World Public Library website.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a specific book or resource, you can search for it using the “eBook finder tool.” Today I’m going to search for one of my personal favorites, “1984” by George Orwell.
