Calibre frozen in middle of job
I made the mistake of trying to do a bulk transfer of 6 books from Calibre to my Sony reader. When I click on the whirling icon in the corner, the box comes up and reads 100% Progress but it's still whirling away. I try to stop the job but it comes up that you can't. I let it go for an hour or so but it still just kept going.
So I forced the disconnection. Left it a few days. Tried again tonight and as soon as I went to the device library, it started again. It's been going for 1.5 hrs. Obviously, it's frozen. What do I do now? thanks |

Assuming you dont have anything on your reader you dont mind losing, try resetting it.

Assuming you have your device properly configured (and the calibre device driver too for that matter), most of the time when a Sony device seems to be frozen it is because some (or all) of the books you are sending are malformed somehow and Sony cannot index it (them) properly.
Turn-off your device and try epub-to-epub conversion with calibre of the books in question and resend them. It might do the trick. |

I can remember it doing this before years ago when I tried to transfer more than one book at a time. I've since done some more single transfers and it's been fine. Who knows why it does this but I've learnt my lesson. One book at a time. thanks the reply. |
