Struggled with Sony’s ebook library software for a while. The menu items were not showing and the horizontal scroll bar didn’t work. Plus there was connection issue upon starting up. Installation and uninstalling did not seem work, until I found the following link through google search: This works well.

This is another case of poor software programming that doesn’t remove all the files correctly upon un-installation. Sony should spend more time QA’ing this piece of software.
To help correct your issue with the eBooks software please follow the
below steps:
Go to Start>Control Panel and open Add/Remove programs. Find and
uninstall/remove “eBook Library by Sony”.
Open My Computer.
Go to Tools>Folder Options.
Click View and select “Show hidden files and folders” and click ok
Please delete the following folders as listed below:
For XP
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\kinoma
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Marlin
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%( i.e. you windows log in name)
\Local Settings\Application Data\kinoma
C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Sony Corporation
C:\Program Files\Sony\eBook Library
For Vista
C:\ProgramData\kinoma
C:\ProgramData\Marlin
C:\Program Files\Sony\eBook Library
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Sony Corporation

After doing so, reinstall your Connect Reader software from:
