Calibre adding 287 ebooks for 1 ebook sent

Gregg Bell · 08-17-2015, 07:37 PM

Calibre detected my Sony PRS300 ereader.

I highlighted the book (epub) I wanted to send.

Then I did the two-step process of:
1)Send to Device
2)Send to main memory

with the one single (small-ish, well under 1MB) epub.

The path Calibre put the epub on in the ereader was:

Database>Media>books>the epub's folder>the epub file

I waited for the green checkmark to appear.

Everything looked good but when I disconnected the ereader it took forever to load and I had 287 copies of that single book on the ereader.

Anybody have any idea what might be happening and how I can get it to work normally?

Thanks.

I got it working. The problem seemed to be that there were two "collections" that I could not delete from the PC. I don't know why there were hundreds of books. I have never had more than five books on this entire ereader at the same time. Anyway, from the Home page of the ereader I went to Settings>Advanced Settings>Format Internal Memory.

That cleared the ereader but it also cleared the Books folder. So I added a Books folder to Database>Media and then added an ebook to the Books folder. Worked fine.
