Same here. My PRS-500 is undetected on a fresh clean install, no Sony software installed ever on my new desktop machine. Then I installed the Sony software and Sony recognizes the 500 alright.

Running the newest version of Calibre, 0.6.19, and Windows XP SP2

I tried the "Uninstall all PRS500 related drivers" trick from the Calibre download page but no luck. There was only one reader driver installed anyway.

Also, I'm getting the same result on two computers (Sony laptop and Asus/AMD desktop).

This would be awesome if it worked, my commutes would be much nicer!
