PB I think you have hit the nail etc. I was using a PC when I first bought my reader. I've only had my iMac and Macbook for 6 months.
Is it feasible to reformat the Sony but keep the books on Calibre on the iMac? I presume they would also disappear from the SD card.
Is there an idiot's guide to reformatting?
Finally; it is ADE which is not operating properly, as you say I'm waiting for the update for Macs later this month. Therefore is a reformat necessary, or should I just wait and see?
No wonder I get migraines.
