Gwynevens:Thanks, I started Calibre, It detected the reader(and card) flawlessly!
I transfered a book and that worked also. another question: Since Sony stores my purchased books in a folder on my computer, can I transfer them to Calibre, then on to my reader? I have tried to read the DRM books in Calibre but I get an error msg saying they are protected. Am I correct in thinking I can't read a DRM book on Calibre?
Before when I had the previous problem, I had just shut down Sony SW and possibly there was a component of Sony still running, Windows probably hadn't finished housekeeping.
Thanks, Paul
