Help?
It has to do with synchronizing your collections. The following may help you.

Synchronizing Content with ReaderSynchronizing Content with Reader

The Reader is automatically updated to match the content in a specified folder(s) in the following situations:
  • When you connect the Reader to your computer with eBook Library running.
  • When you start eBook Library after connecting the Reader to your computer.
  • After a period of time if any changes have been made to a specified folder.
When you want to synchronize the content of a specified folder with the Reader right away, you can also synchronize them by using the (Sync Now) button.
You can also synchronize the content of a specified folder with a compatible memory card inserted in the Reader or your computer.
To synchronize the contents in the specified folder automatically

  1. Start eBook Library.
  2. Turn on the Reader, then connect the Reader to your computer using the supplied USB cable.
    eBook Library starts synchronizing the content in the specified folder with the Reader automatically.
  3. When you want to synchronize the content in the specified folder with a memory card in the Reader, insert a compatible memory card into the Media slot of the Reader.
    eBook Library starts synchronizing the content in the specified folder with the compatible memory card automatically.
  4. When you want to synchronize the content in the specified folder with a memory card on your computer, insert a compatible memory card into the memory card slot of your computer.
    eBook Library starts synchronizing the content in the specified folder with the compatible memory card automatically.
Hints

  • If you start eBook Library after connecting the Reader to your computer, eBook Library also starts synchronizing content in the specified folder with the Reader automatically.
  • After a period of time if any changes have been made to the specified folder, eBook Library starts synchronizing the content in the specified folder with the Reader or the compatible memory card automatically.
  • When synchronization is enabled, eBook Library will automatically update the device to mirror your library every time you connect your device to your computer. In addition, you can apply changes made in your library on your device at anytime by clicking (Sync Now) button to perform a manual sync operation.
  • When you disable synchronization, eBook Library will automatically remove the previously synchronized folders and content from your device the next time you sync. In addition, if you manually delete a file that is in your Library, the file will also be deleted from your device during the next sync process.
Notes

  • In the List view of the Reader or the compatible memory card, the icon is displayed next to the synchronized content. This content cannot be deleted from the List view of the Reader or the compatible memory card manually. For details on how to delete synchronized content, refer to "To delete synchronized content" below.
  • If there is not enough free space on the Reader or the compatible memory card, the Reader or the compatible memory card cannot be synchronized with the specified folder. Delete unnecessary content on the Reader or the compatible memory card, or delete unnecessary content in the specified folder.
  • Do not disconnect the USB cable from the Reader while the Reader is being synchronized.
  • Synchronization time may vary based on the number of content items selected within the Sync folder(s).
To synchronize the contents in a specified folder manually

  1. Click "Sync" on "Reader," "Memory Stick on Reader" / "SD Card on Reader" or "Memory Stick on PC" / "SD Card on PC" in the Source view.
    The View area is switched to the Sync preferences view.
  2. Click (Sync Now) in the Sync preferences view.
    eBook Library immediately starts synchronizing the content in the specified folder with the Reader or the compatible memory card.

In addition, you can apply changes made in your library on your device at anytime by clicking (Sync Now) button to perform a manual sync operation.

To delete synchronized content

The synchronized (content icon is displayed next to the content) can be deleted only on the computer which had synchronized the content with the Reader or the compatible memory card. The synchronized content can be deleted when eBook Library synchronizes with the Reader or the compatible memory card after the specified folder has been unchecked.
Hints

  • PRS-505 device allows you to manually delete synchronized content directly on the device. If this action is performed, previously synchronized content will not be re-transferred to the device during the synchronization process. In order to reset this setting, remove, then re-enter the checkmark next to the specified folder containing the specified content you want to re-transfer.
  • When you disable synchronization, eBook Library will automatically remove the previously synchronized folders and content from your device the next time you sync. In addition, if you manually delete a file that is in your Library, the file will also be deleted from your device during the next sync process.
Notes

  • The synchronized content can be deleted only on a computer that has synchronized the content with the Reader or the compatible memory card. Synchronized content cannot be deleted on another computer.
  1. Click "Sync" on "Reader," "Memory Stick on Reader" / "SD Card on Reader" or "Memory Stick on PC" / "SD Card on PC" in the Source view.
    The View area is switched to the Sync preference view. The folders of the Library and sub-items, and the Favorite folder appear.
  2. Click the check box to remove check mark next to the specified folder containing the specified content that you want to delete.
  3. Click (Sync Now), or reconnect the Reader to synchronize the Reader.
    All synchronized content is deleted from the Reader.
  4. When the synchronized content that you want to delete is synchronized with the compatible memory card, insert the memory card into the Media slot of the Reader or into the memory card slot of your computer.
    All synchronized content is deleted from the compatible memory card.
