Error Communicating with device 600

[compmom]

Same old story I have read elsewhere on forum except the solves did not solve for me. Bummer.

Got Sony-600 a week ago (refurbished as replacement to warranty repairs of 505) Books downloaded well to Calibre (have Ubuntu). Now, Calibre recognizes the library on reader, says reader is connected, but will not transfer from Calibre to reader any books.

Did: tried different usb cables, tried soft reset, tried hard reset, tried other computers including Windows with Sony Library where not recognize anything.

Now what????? Also tried installing latest version of Calibre, could not update reader when in Microsoft because usb not recognized.

After hard reset, which is my last effort to fix this is what I now get:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/media/usb0/database/media/books/Lawrenson, Brian'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 56, in run
self.result = self.func(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 233, in _upload_books

File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/devices/prs505/driver.py", line 132, in upload_books

mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/media/usb0/database/media/books/Lawrenson, Brian'

It does not look, through troubleshooting, to be an os problem since on both ms and ubuntu, not cables, unit fully charged, etc.

One other thing when first put usb into computer the light next to power button only blinks a few times, which I assumes means the device is fully charged?

Thank you!!!!!!!

If blinking then means accessing files internally, nothing to do with charging... that is red light either on or off (and frankly not 100% accurate ) and, if in doubt, I ignore anyway and give a 6-12 hour charge before retrying.
