I've noticed that I can send the same book to my PRS-505 multiple times. I wonder if the present problem is related? To be honest, I didn't think of this as a defect -- I just assumed that it was supposed to work that way. I got in the habit of deleting old versions on my 505 before sending new ones.

I've only noticed this problem when I've actually updated the Calibre library and re-sent the updated books. So I wonder if what's happened is that you've added a book in .lit format and then sent a batch of books to the device (including that one) then added it in .prs format and sent the same batch again? Of course, I don't know if Calibre will even attempt to send a .lit book -- I don't think it will, without conversion. So I don't know, either. But I have noticed the same file being installed on the PRS multiple times.
