I just got my Sony PRS-505 earlier today, and had calibre ready set up for it.

I formatted a 16G SD card as FAT32, and put it in the reader.
Unfortunately when I try to use Calibre's Send to Storage command, it fails with an error suggesting the reader has no storage card installed.

In addition, 'mount' shows the Sony Internal Memory, but no entry for Sony SDCard which Id expect to see

This seg faults...

> prs500 info

Device name: PRS505
Device version:
Software version:
Mime type:
/usr/bin/prs500: line 6: 12521 Segmentation fault ./prs500 "$@"

Also I downloaded the BBC News feed and tried the 'Send to Internal Memory' feature of calibre. This appears to work, but when I try to read the BBC book on the Sony, it takes says formatting for a while and then goes blank. The next thing I see is it booting up again (this happens even if the SDCard isnt inserted).

Im not sure what else to try. I dont really think its a calibre problem as such, but the seg-fault and BBC reboot is an issue surely?

Thanks
