Hi. I have searched for a resolution on this for a while and didn't find any that worked for me.

I have an old Sony PRS-T1 that I stopped using years ago because I didn't have much time to read. Now I want to use it again. I know, it is old. But the reader is in good shape. So I thought why spend money on a new reader?

The device itself works fine. Battery seems ok. I can download drm-free ebooks via drag and drop from Finder no issues. My problem is for DRM ebooks.

To download ebooks with drm (Adobe) I must use either the Sony Reader app or Adobe Digital Edition. The issue is none of the applications see my reader. The Mac sees it, I can drag and drop files via the usb connection, but these 2 apps, they don't see/connect to the reader.

I tried it on mac os x 10.11 (el capitan) and 10.15 (catalina).

So I though I would give it a try on this forum just in case someone else got similar issues and has a resolution for this.

Thanks.
