Calibre won't recognise Sony reader
Using version 0.4.86 with 32 bit Vista and Calibre does not recognise my PRS 500. If I open Sony Connect Ebook library it recognises the reader but My Computer does not show the reader.
Any ideas? Cheers Matt |

Wait, wait, wait...
I'm having the same problem (won't detect PRS-500), and I understand what you're saying about uninstalling the Sony driver, but... Does this mean I cannot use the Sony software once I get it working with Calibre? Or is it implied here that the Sony software will work with your driver? Or is there some other way to get both pieces of software to work (at different times) with the same eBook? I'd hate to have to uninstall and reinstall drivers each time I wanted to update a PDF or a news feed.... |
