Howdy. Just got a PRS 600 a month ago and it was working fine, but for some reason last week it simply wouldn't connect/charge to my computer. Here's what I've done:

Using the USB plug, it recognizes the USB is connected, but not matter how long I wait the computer will not connect to the SD cards or internal memory, and the eBook Library can't read it iether. Also, it does not charge. Note that the ebook itself says "USB Connected" with the icon, but that's all.

I've tried this using different USB cords and different USB ports and different computers. No difference in outcome.

I've tried resetting the ebook on several occasions. No difference in outcome.

I've tried removing the SD cards before plugging it in. No difference in outcome.

I've been able to charge the eBook using a regular DC plug, and I can always upload books directly to the SD cards other ways, so I can work around this problem. But I certainly shouldn't have to.

Any ideas? Anyone else have this happen?
