Thanks, everyone, especially Don. Don's answer did the trick. I found one book, the PRS-600 user's manual, that the reader library couldn't find. I deleted it and the reader successfully sync'ed up. However, for some unexplainable reason, when I reloaded the 600 manual, the Sony software deleted the book I was currently reading. I hadn't deleted it from the library. So I was able to retrieve it. I lost the page I was on, but that was easy to find. So I'm back in business. Thanks again.
Sony should be embarrassed by releasing such poor software. I'm using version 3.1.00.12040 which, I believe is the latest version. In my past, I did a bit of programming, mostly in C and C++. While I'm far from expert, One thing I always included were error traps so that, if the software did something which caused it to hang or generate an error, it would be reported to the user. For something like getting hung, I'd use what I called a "dead man timer." It was a timer that got periodically reset by properly running software. If the software got stuck somewhere, the timer would expire, report the problem, and reset (jump to start) the program. Why hasn't Sony done something similar? Judging from the responses to this thread, I'd say that I'm not the only one who has experienced this problem.
