Just to reassure any Mac users finding this... I use Mac and Win PC and the Mac files starting with "." haven't made a scrap of difference on my PRS505... in fact I used "Drag n drop" plus Calibre for over a year after getting it and had no problems at all even after installing the PRS+ software.

Make a separate folder on your desktop, copy and paste all folders into it from the Reader, and then format the Reader. Re-install the folders one by one, checking operation between installs to ensure correct operation, but leave the transparent Mac folders where they are. This should restore your Reader to an operational state.
