How to open LRX file?
An often recurring problem with Sony Portable Reader Format is that LRX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LRX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LRX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sony Reader Library

If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LRX with Sony Reader Library. Below is a list of programs that support the file LRX.
Programs to open LRX file
Remember to download programs supporting LRX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sony Reader Library with LRX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LRX file still does not use the Sony Reader Library program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sony Reader Library application as the default for handling the LRX file.
Step 3. Update Sony Reader Library to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sony Reader Library program with the Sony Portable Reader Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LRX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LRX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LRX file. Sometimes virus-infected LRX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of LRX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LRX file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LRX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LRX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LRX to close. However, some background programs may block the LRX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
