On another note: The Sony firmware does some interesting stuff on disconnect.

- It will seemingly read the added_order column from collections. That's good news, so I've added it to the driver. The order will be the order Calibre has the books. This behavior should be similar to the 505 driver.

- If you attempt to put any title/author information into the DB that doesn't match the ePub... the firmware will happily 'correct' it for you. Yikes. This means things like "use author sort" won't do much good unless they edit the ePub directly.

Plugboards are now working as well though. Because of the previous issue though, it is creating interesting behavior. If the plugboard says: "Do x", but the ePub itself says "Do y", then the reader will spend time every unplug undoing what the plugboard says until you re-send all your files to the device so the ePub and plugboard match.

This means that the only useful plugboards for the T1 are ones that affect all formats, really. Unless you like the T1 sitting and spinning every unplug.
