A few years ago I took my old Sony PRS-500 and connected it to a PC. I wanted to give it away and I needed to connect to it and delete books from memory.
I connected the reader, started Calibre and ... nothing happened.
I found out Kovid dropped support for the old PRS-500 a few years ago. It took me a *long* time to get the old version of Calibre running. And that was not after 150 years, but after two.
Calibre has many, many dependencies. Just have a look at dependencies here:
