dfunk9 · 01-07-2010, 01:38 AM

I am running OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard. I have a Sony PRS-505. Three weeks ago everything was fine: I was able to open the Reader Library from my Applications folder and see my books, buy new ones from the eBook store, load & view them on my PRS-505, etc. As of yesterday the application won't launch. All of my other applications work as normal.

Here's what happens: when I double-click the Reader Library icon the app starts to load and then hangs. In the menu bar at the top -- to the immediate right of the Apple logo -- the 'Reader Library' app name appears, but nothing else (e.g., after 'Firefox' the other menu bar items are 'File', 'Edit', 'View', 'History', etc.). All that appears is Reader Library. There are no error messages, no spinning beach ball, it just stops. I have to do a Force Quit to close it.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and applied the suggestions regarding the .plist files listed on this thread.

Does this look familiar to anyone? Any suggestions on how to fix?
