Firstly, let us all thank Mr. Goyal for creating Calibre. And after paying our obesciences, enquiring - where can one send donations from our treasuries? Not shiny silver Maple Leaf coins necessarily but not cheques either. I mean banknotes, moola, Dead Presidents such as Grants and Franklins (or Queen Elizabeths).

I have downloaded the current edition of Calibre. There is no other device attached to this borrowed Mac (OSX - 10.5.8). The Calibre software is showing up. But I am at a loss as to how to get started (even after listening to and viewing you instructive video, sorry.)

The first try, days ago, my ereader device showed up as a mounted volume I think is the technical language. What I mean is I saw a white rectangle on my desktop. I was able to select the sample ebooks that come loaded. And that is where they stayed for I do not know how to get them to move. I expected to have to press 'return' on the keyboard or use my mouse to press some button on the software. I do not see one.

Now, another try, after I have set up the PRS-350 to have a password I see the message on it 'device locked'. This is strange because I just unlocked it. All I see is the message on the device - 'battery charging'. Another difference I notice is that at the first try there were two buttons greyed out ('show cover browser' and 'hide tag browser') and now they are there in their glory. How odd. Last time also, there was a beating heart. Only cardiac arrest now. I do not know if t makes any difference, but I am using the guest account and as i understand things, every time the account is closed previous data not saved to a folder is deleted, something like that.

I certainly do not expect Mr. Goyal to spend his time answering this enquiry. But perhaps readers can suggest threads that answer this question since he has no doubt moved on from badminton to mastering the art of the nouveau cuisine and is busy in his kitchen.
