Intermittently I've been able to get it to show up on my PC when connected via USB. Calibre reported an error in communication (some problem with an xml file); Sony software spun for a while, then could see the list of books.
Unfortunately, I left it on the PC to charge overnight. I also plugged in my Dell PDA to top off overnight (it was working fine). Now neither of them will boot up! The Dell acts as if it has a completely dead battery, even after I left it on alone to charge all day. The Sony is just stuck on the startup screen. (Which is how far I get when I do a reset.)
Is it possible the Sony battery has a short or something, and that it pulled so hard from the USB that it drained the PDA battery to its demise?
This is very frustrating. I took two reading devices on my trip, and now I have none working.
What would happen if I deleted that xml file (it's under database/cache)? Would that simply get reconstructed by Calibre or the Reader Library software?
