My method works well and tested, because I'm was in the some trouble week ago - Connect software downloads updater, and I click to update my PRS-500. Then have a error, looks like after erasing old firmware updater do a USB-bus reinitialisation or reset, and at this moment VM lost "focus" of reader device, and release it to host Mac OS X system.
Thanks for guide how to find a standalone updater, this will help to recover reader.
I think they chance to restore reader 100%, because reader old firmware erased, but reader stand in bootloader mode and awaits for firmware flashing. Standalone updater works well.
In general life I keep Parallels VM with Connect software and Book Designer, use them both to create books from various files and upload to reader.
For Mac also exists Docudesk PRS Browser, which is free, but done only file transfers from and to reader. Useful if you have a collection of prepared books or PDF-s, and do quick transfer without any Windows WM.
