That also happened to me twice.

I'm going to suggest something that has always worked for me. I've done this 3 times: two out of necessity, and one time just to see if it worked.

However, before I explain this, you should also get a second opinion from another source.

This is what I do:

1) Make certain you have sync turned on in the "Ebook Library" software. If you have categories (or not), that's no problem.

2) Make certain that all your books are actually ON the "Ebook Library" software; now:

3) Close the "Ebook Library" software.

4) Turn on your PRS-505 and make note of your bookmarks. Write down the page numbers on a piece of paper.

5) Now, with "Ebook Library" STILL closed, plug in your PRS-505. Open it as a disk and throw away all the files. (Put them all in a folder on your desktop until things are ok.)

6.) Unplug the PRS-505 and wait until it shows NO books on the Reader. Now turn it off.

7.) Open "Ebook Library" -- again, make certain that you have sync turned on.

8.) Plug in your empty PRS-505 and every book IN the library, after a brief scanning period, will be automatically synced to your PRS-505.

I hope this helps. Please get another opinion, just to be safe.

Thanks,
Don

P.S.: Make certain the titles are indeed NOT doubled in the "Ebook Library.
