Hi All,

Picked up a 650 on the weekend and have a few questions, probably very simple, but I am a complete neophyte as far as book reader are concerned.

First thing I noticed is that when its connected to the PC via the usb cable, it is either charging or charging complete. You cannot seem to be able to use it when connected, is this normal?

I started by using calibre, as prior reading suggested this was a good library manager. I found that when loading books, if I selected too many (more than 30) to send to device I would get a permission error 13. I spent a long time collecting before actually buying. The calibre site has info on error 13, but I could not match any with "send to device"

In calibre I have authors names eg: John Smith, with a search order Smith, John. But when transferred to the sony, it stays John Smith and is listed in the J section. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to clear the reader, change in calibre and reload (several at a time)?

I would also like to have the facility to list the authors, so I can select an author and display their books, rather than display all books ordered by author

Any help or clarity appreciated
