I don't have a 300, I have a T1 and a T3. Nevertheless, what I will describe in following is common to a lot of devices, including cameras and stuff, and it goes as this: when you plug in the USB cable, the device recognize it (not hard, each USB cable also provides electricity ) and asks for a choice: normally between two alternatives (CHARGE vs CONNECT) but three or more are also possible (photocameras that may be used as a webcam, camcorders usable as intruder detectors etc). Unless a choice is made, the computer does not sense the device. PICK a choice and it should work.

LOADING means that the eReader does some internal work. Amongst them are:
- filling the cache with cover thumbnails, authors, titles, keywords etc.
- sorting them in the internal memory
but also
- deleting said infos from the memory when the books are no longer there.

If you had say 200 books loaded on an SD card, and removed it, the ereader deletes each entry for each removed book from the cache, to keep only the existing (updated) infos.

Patience is required. I load books one by one, or in small blocks, never 2000 at once.
Thanks Ghitulescu. Thing is the computer always used to recognize the Sony PRS 300 just by plugging it in with the USB cord. I'll check though if I'm given a choice next time.

And I only put one book on there at a time. I'll try to be more patient though.
