Hello all

I just bought a Sony eReader, after debating it for months, go it home but can't start using it because when I plug it into the computer using the USB cable, Reader Library (and same problem with Adobe Digital Editions - I tried using that too) doesn't recognise that it's there, so I can't drag any books into it.

There's clearly no problem with the cable because Reader Library opens when I plug the eReader in, and it also appears in the Finder window - it just doesn't appear in list in Reader Library.

Incidentally, the eReader just says 'Charging complete' when it's plugged in - it never gets to 'Do not disconnect', as much of the material I've read online says it should when associated with Reader Library.

I've tried various combinations of plugging the eReader in first, turning the computer on frist, etc. etc., but to no avail. I've also downloaded the Reader Library software again and updated the firmware for the eReader. Finally, I've reset the eReader too. Nothing doing.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I'd be so grateful.
