Problems after database corruption

ficbot · 09-24-2009, 11:05 PM

I upgraded to the new version and everything was fine the first time I ran it. But once I quit Calibre, it did something because when I later relaunched it because I had forgotten to add something, it said the database was corrupted on the reader, to unplug the reader and wait for everything to refresh, then plug it back in and it should work. I have done this. Everything looks fine except that Calibre is now saying my reader is the Pocket Edition and not the 505. Should I worry about this? I am just nervous that things are behaving differently than before and I would not want to lose access to a feature the 505 has that the Pocket Edition does not just because Calibre thinks I have the Pocket when I do not.

The description is the only thing that changed. It was changed because the 300 and 505 identify themselves as the same device and they use the same driver so to not confuse people by calling their 300 a 505 a generic description is used instead. Also, the same is true for the 600 and 700.
