Ordered a black PRS-650 plus black cover with light on 18 October 2010
Dispatched on 19 October 2010
Arrived on 2 November 2010

Thank you Borders.com - excellent service
Well done Sony - usual superb quality

Downloaded and installed Calibre 0.6.42 on my PC
Downloaded e-books (ePub format) and added them to Calibre

Connected the PRS-650 to my PC via USB
Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS recognized it as a drive automatically
A new icon called READER appeared on the desktop
The e-reader began charging automatically

Ran Calibre which recognized the PRS-650 as Reader
Selected and sent 18 books to the PRS-650
Located the books on the new drive: database > media > books

Disconnected the PRS-650 from my PC
Books transferred all right ... now happily reading

Any special reason for this really old version ?

What's your OS?

Addendum:
Ah, I see the latest release for Linux is 0.7.26
I downloaded my copy a while ago
Thanks for the heads-up

That's the windows version, the other FM uses linux.

I don't use the Sony software or Calibre to transfer books, I just copy and past using explorer.

I mainly use Calibre for converting PDF files to epub.

I don't remember, but my guess is that I installed Calibre 0.6.42 using the Synaptic Package Manager, as that's still the version listed there. However, I now have version 0.7.26 installed, downloaded from here.

I found Calibre handy for organising the e-books that I downloaded, before I got the e-reader, but yes Copy & Paste works fine, too.
