It appears that there is a somewhat common problem with MS Windows where "WMI" gets corrupted and the only real (easy) solution is to reinstall Windows.

My version of Windows 7 (64bit) is only 1.5 months old, and now I have to re-install it again? Windows and the Sony software do see it, and will work with it.

Load Calibre on my work computer (XP) and Calibre does recognize the PRS-600. But I have an unreasonable boss. He wants me to "work"

!!!

If I re-install windows now (remember it's only 1.5 months old) how many times in the future will I have to re-install Windows?

If people didn't say how much better Calibre is than the Sony software I wouldn't mind.

So my question is this - Will a version ever come out that does not use WMI?
