I installed Calibre .5.3 on my PPC imac, running OSX 10.5.6, and placed a few books in the library. I added tagwords, then connected my PRS505. The reader and card mount in Finder, but when I try to send a book to the reader I get this msg-

NoneType' object has no attribute 'FORMATS'
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre/gui2/device.pyo", line 409, in dispatch_sync_event
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'FORMATS'

I can drag a book to the reader's folder, and the reader will then display the book. However, it doesn't appear in any of the collections, though I added those to the book's metadata.

Will Calibre recognize the reader on a Mac, or does this work only on the hated windows, like the Sony software and Adobe Digital Editions?

If not, is there a way to send books to the reader and have the reader sort them into collections. I can, if necessary, add collections via the Sony Library, which is installed on our netbook.

Thanks for any help.
