Hi everyone,

I just purchased a Sony Reader 505 and everything is great. Now I am trying to transfer some books to a 8G SD card with no success. When I insert it into the device it does recognize it(as it shows the symbol refreshing on the 505 screen), but when I go to Sony Library or Adobe Digital Editions the problem arise. Both software will recognize the SD card and show it as "SD CARD" next to "Library" and "Reader" but when I am about to transfer some book, or to add a collection it gives me an error such as "Unable to complete the operation because the destination can no longer be accessed". Now the card is not locked, and it has been formatted in FAT32.

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
Thank you all

PS: I have been trying with Calibre as well with the same results, this is the error it reports ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device (21, 'GetDiskFreeSpace', 'The device is not ready.')

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks again!
Does not matter anymore, it is a BRICK right now. I have no idea why. I did nothing out of the ordinary. It is not turning on, it does nothing. I shut it down after trying to transfer the files, but now it is not coming back on. I plug it on the USB and not even the light comes on. It is 2 days old and it has been on for about 30 minutes.

Any ideas as to why this happened? I guess I will have to return it.

Just more information, the firmware was updated when I bought it (brand new 2 days ago) and I charged the battery full. Now it was also full when this problem happened, and it wont turn on.

MORE NEW INFO: I used a paper clip to reset it and it is back to life. Nevertheless I am returning and getting a new one, as this one seems to me may be defective.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Now the orange and red lights were alternatively blinking, then orange only keeps blinking.
Does that mean my battery was not full and it is deceiving due to the calibration of the battery? I do not have a wall charger and I charged it through USB (front) and the red light stopped(telling me it was fully charged) and the screen showed a full battery.
