I just got the PRS-505 2 days ago. Everythings work fine until today. The problem I have is described below. I would appreciate it if you could help me as it is difficult for me to send back the unit to Sony service. (I live in Canada, but mail order the book from B&H in the US because it is cheaper even after the taxes/duties/shipping!)

I appologize if someone had the same problem and posted on the forum already.

I used the Sony eBook Library software to transfer the book to the reader's own memory. Somehow the the PC was frozen and I had to force the program to quit. Then, I eject the reader and restart the eBook Library again. This is when I found the problem. The eBook Library cannot see the reader. The collections were erased from the reader. But, the books associated with those collection are still there.

I thought maybe the EBook Library program was crashed. So, I tried with Calibre. But, I have the same problem. I can't send the book to the reader's main memory.

The message says "database of books on reader is corrupted." I follow the instruction that say "delete media.xml" in the reader's main memory. I did that. (Not sure if I delete the right file(s) though. I deleted media.xml from database\cache and tmp\database\cache)

I also tried sending the book to the memory with Calibre. Here is the message I got.
