So, my 505 re-booted without warning ( which isn't uncommon. It does that sometimes), however this time it kept re-booting. I reset it, but it didn't solve anything. So, I opened Calibre and deleted all the books. I safely removed it, and checked. It seemed to work properly. So I decided to connect it again, and add some books. Which was a mistake

. When I disconnected it, my was Sony blank. It didn't respond when I slided the power switch

I am at a bit of a loss. I am charging it now, in an attempt to see if my Sony works tomorrow. Otherwise I'm without an e-reader until I have the money to buy a new one. sigh.

Edit: Nope. Still shows the same behaviour. When I connected it to Calibre, an error popped up saying it was unable to communicate with the device

. I am wondering, though, if the database is corrupt.

Not that I know how to fix it...
