No such thing as a free lunch 
Re: calibre not seeing the external SD card, I've also had this in the past. Calibre only waits so long when trying to decide whether an SD card is present. I raised it as a 'bug' at the time. Kovid's response was that the only thing he could do was to extend the 'looking' time which would slow down all users - not acceptable. Fair enough, I admit my SD card was rather cheap and nasty There were 2 workarounds for a slow SD card, at the time: - restart calibre (Ctrl-R on Windows) with the reader already connected via USB
- use 'Save-to-Disk' rather than 'Send-to-Device'. When the file browsing window pops up the SD card drive can be easily selected
As an aside, I stopped using an SD card shortly after as everything seems quicker and more reliable without, particularly the PRST1. Then again, I only keep 20-30 books on the reader at any one time so it's not as if I've lost anything. |
Calibre not seeing the card happened to me using a generic card. First take it out and clean it with a soft pencil rubber and reinsert it. Try reading it with somehting other than your T1 such as an external card reader. Iīve found that Sandiskīs cards are more reliable than other brands and read everytime. Or maybe itīs a Sony glitch because this happens on my Xperia Mini Pro too...
