My problem is even more bizarre. I have replaced my (recently lost) PRS 600 and plugged it into the laptop expecting the Reader Library to detect a new device, but basically offer me the same facilities as before.

Ho no!

It initially detected the new reader, downloaded some books onto it, and them the whole thing locked up. I left it for 20 minutes, and the reader had "Do not disconnect" on the screen. Well I ran out of time and disconnected anyway. The thing had a sort of electronic hissy fit, sulked for a while and then came to life with the downloaded books on it, all working as normal.

Now, however, the computer does not detect the reader AT ALL. I have removed and reloaded all the Library programmes, done a hard reset on the reader itself and basically all the stuff on the Sony website. The best I can get is the computer sometimes recognises 4 hard drives E,F,G and H, but thinks they have a 0MB memory, so wont put anything in them.

So now I have a lovely, shiny new ereader with absolutely nothing on it!

Any ideas?
