Detailed traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'set_next_id'
Does that mean anything to you ?

Thanks again
I am no expert, but I have the Sony PRS-505 and a Mac. I had to plug the Sony in the Windows machine initially after I installed the Adobe Digital Editions, so the Sony would be acknowledged (sorry don't know what term they use). This was one time only. Then when I installed ADE on the Mac, and used the same process with the same ID (I can't explain it any better manybe someone else can).

Then since my books were DRM, I still have to download and transfer them on the Windows machine. BUT good news Sony is making a Mac version in maybe another month, so it will be so much better.

It sounds like yours is DRM, you didn't say. If so that is your problem. Otherwise Calibre would see your Sony when you plugged it in. But Calibre can not work with DRM books.

Hope this helps.
