Oh, I'm still gonna need someone more familiar to help polish the driver. I think about all I'll be able to pull off is a basic one that integrates with the database.

I've got a driver that right now will actually create the collections (no thumbnail support), but it needs a bit more polish before it's usable. Current issues are:

- Does more operations on the database than needed.
- Empty databases produce weird/incorrect id #s (seems like a SQLite bug)
- Doesn't delete books out of the DB correctly when removing them.
- Doesn't remove empty collections.
- Doesn't support anything but tags for collections, and can't turn it off.
- Doesn't support generation/copying of thumbnails or any other advanced feature of the 505 driver.

So, right now it reads metadata from the device correctly. It also reads collection information from the device. You can add books to collections straight on the device by editing metadata. You can also send books and it will add it to collections based on your tags (but not series). I've split it out from the PRS505 driver since it can't really share any of the code.

It may have unknown issues on Windows as well.
