I'm not sure how Will DeLamater is transferring the ebooks onto his Sony Reader, but I will go ahead and share how I do it. I usually make sure that I download and open the library ebook using Adobe Digital Editions, not the Sony Reader Library Software. When I plug in my Sony Reader Pocket, the icon shows up on the left side of Adobe Digital Editions. I just drag the file over, and everything works fine. In regards to checking out the same book again, what I did was delete the book off my Sony Reader Pocket first before I moved the newly checked out library ebook over. I made note of where my last bookmark was so when I loaded up the file again I just have to go to that page again. I will try to re-check out a library book again as soon as my book expires and will make better note of what I did exactly to get the book to work. @Will: If you are reading this and haven't found a solution, I won't mind going through this with you.
