Error Stream

Hello !

I just bought a PRS-T1 and I tried to add free epub book in the software "Reader for mac". I always get the same message : error stream please contact Sony.
I try to convert 4 book using the calibre software and always get the same message...
Those epub don't have DRM and are free of rights (old books)...

I looked for a solution on google but I wasn't able to find one.

I hope someone will have a clue or a solution !

Thanks !

You get an error when converting in Calibre? Or you get a message when trying to put ebubs converted in Calibre into Reader4Mac?

A Sony error, have you contacted Sony? What is the exact error message?

What "same message" do you get for these 4 books? I know it isn't the Sony error message above.

We need more info about the actual errors you see, but just because a book is old doesn't mean it is DRM free.

Thank you very much for your answers.

I contacted Sony : when I had my error message there was a link which lead to a page where I submited my problem.
I had no answer until now.

The message I got was (sorry it's in french : "erreur stream contactez Sony") which can be translated by "error stream please contact Sony".

I downloaded the laster caliber software (there was a recent update), disconnected and reconnected the PRST-T1 several times and finally it works (I give up the Sony software) !!!
I don't know why it was not working before and why it works now, but it works.

Here is one the book (french translation from Arthur Conan Doyle's novels) I tried to transfer :
http://fr.feedbooks.com/book/5190
I guess there was no DRM on it.

Now I can read it.

So if anyone encounter the same problem here is my solution : use the calibre software, plug and unplug several times your reader to your computer, and it will probably works.
