I can manipulate files on the 500 with Calibre. As an exercise I copied all of the existing files from the internal memory to the hard disk. Four files reported internal errors and refused to be copied. When I opened them on the Sony they refused to open and I had to plug in the USB cord to get the unit to move on. I was able to delete them through Calibre.

I added the new issue of Analog from Fictionwise via Calibre and it works fine. When I plug the unit back into the original computer with the Sony software it still reports "error". I have rebooted this computer sever times and it still reports an error. When I do plug in the reader it makes a sound and will recharge the battery.

The few remaining unread Sony DRM files (LRX) are on a Memory Stick in the reader and should be finished by next week.
