Hi,

I'm really excited about my new PRS-505 but am having the following problem.

When I connect it to my PC the screen displays the "Do not disconnect" screen forever (see attached picture). :blink:

- My computer & reader have been authorized.
- The reader is on before I connect it to the PC.

My library is empty and I would like to perform my initial sync to capture the contents on the reader, but can't get past this screen.

Any help to this new owner is most appreciated.

When you see the circle with the slash in it, that means you have it connected to the USB port of your computer and eBook Library running. Just use eBook Library to copy content to your 505. All you need do is drag and drop to Sony reader on the left pane.

What you see is 100% normal.

Be sure to read the provided manual. :book2: It tells you how to do all of this stuff. :cool:

Absolutely read the manual about the USB linking/delinking procedure. It is important that you follow the directions for shutting down the PC link to your Sony eReader BEFORE you disconnect the USB cable. If you don't you might find that link screen on your eReader frozen after pullling the USB cable. If that happens, just hook it back to your PC and leave it alone for about 40-50 minutes and it should be okay.
