Gotcha...I am gonna assume you have searched the Calibre forum here about why your 600 cannot be recognized? I ask because for all I know it's a know issue as I don't stay up to date on what it does or does not do device wise.

As for library organization on on the device. Any device which supports folders will be better than those w/o. Sorting is another thing to look into if you can assign keywords then that sure makes searching for titles related to your query easier. It can be a cranky bugger but FBReader is not bad at using metadata to keep your library organized, but it is only within FBReader so it has to run on your reader and all that mess. Also you will likely need to edit the meta data of each book inside FBReader because publishers are horrible at that side of things. How ironic that publishers don't know how to keep data organized inside a document. I find that few of my books have meta data where FBReader expects to find it or even there to begin with.

And as I mentioned, nobody I am aware of really offers good device & library management software other than Calibre. I remember something called LibraryThing but have no idea how it advanced since I last looked into it.

I also have used "My Ebook Library" in the past but have not in a long time, it might even be orphaned by now, I don't know. but it wasn't awful as a way to organize on my local drive but I never even looked to see if it can organize content on the reader itself.

I do know that Windows will create folders and such on the Kindle but the device will not use them when organizing your content so, even that is frustrating.

Wish I knew of something to fix whatever is up with the Sony access...I would think there should be no issue, though Sony can often be, ummmm, glacial in how they address issues in firmware or drivers.

That is a real shame to read Win7 64 is having issues with the PRS600, that could very well be the Sony provided driver and not Calibre. Which would mean any software might have similar issues. If I think of something or come across something that might help I will post it for ya...otherwise well, maybe someone has run into the same issue and solved it.
