I've currently got about 600 ebooks for the PRS 505, sorted into collections by author and I seem to have hit the SNAFU point with the programming. Can anyone explain how I can load more books onto this SD card in a way someone that doesn't know what file extensions means can understand? Thanks!
You're not even close to the SNAFU point as you call it. If you're crashing the sony software I'd reccomend using calibre and getting a better quality SD card, or even a good quality memory stick. I've continually had 1000+ books on my reader since I bought it. I use collections. When I used a really cheap 2gb SD card, Sony software would crash, the reader sometimes crashed, and when it didn't it took 20 minutes to initialize and index itself. I replaced it with a good memory stick instead, and started using Calibre. Nothing crashes and it takes 3-5 minutes to index after I unplug it.
