calibre doesn't see really old Sony ereader
I have a really, really old Sony ereader (maybe 2011?) that I'd like to give away. I'm currently charging it, and it will turn on and I can see the books that are on it and open a book.
But when I connect it to my computer, Calibre can't see it to use Calibre to side load books. Is there any way that I can get Calibre to see the device? I'm not sure it's usable without that. thanks! |

calibre has not dropped support for any sony readers. the usual steps for device not detected in the calibre faq apply.

That looks like a PRS-650. Without calibre running and you plug it into your computer's USB port does the computer see it as another drive?

No, even when I don't have Calibre running, my computer doesn't see the Sony.

so done, or at least I think so - I plugged the cord into a USB outlet on my computer rather than at a hub - is that right?. And I didn't see any yellow icons.

Well,what ever I just did, it seems to have worked. I see the reader in my File Explorer and in Calibre. Thank you - maybe having it connected to the computer directly rather than via the hub was the magic step.
