Calibre does not "sync" your files the way Sony software attempts to. You must select the books to be transferred.

Given the number of posts I've seen here with re Sony sync problems, I'm not even a little bit tempted to try it. I like the illusion of control I get by manually selecting which books to transfer to, or delete from, my reader.
I agree that I do not use sync with the Sony software. I also do not use "export to ereader" or whatever the command is in Calibre. I seem to recall that the developer stated that once you do that in Calibre, the Sony software will no longer recognize your device. Maybe I am mistaken, or maybe that has changed. It was a long time ago.

Regardless, another person says this works between Sony and Kobo. Good to know.
