Hello, I'm a new user of Calibre. Today I installed it on Win XP and all was fine, I connected my PRS 700 and send some books to it.
Now I'm trying to do the same on Linux (Fedora 10). Calibre is working fine, but when I connect the reader Calibre doesn't recognize any device. I've tried to restart Calibre and nothing happens, also I can browse the reader so it's recognized by the system.

I have run Calibre form the command line and got these log:

link hasn't been detected!

Unable to open device
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any help?.

Thanks in advance.
