Calibre ID Confusion?

Timoleon · 09-13-2009, 02:08 PM

I've recently upgraded to Calibre 6.12, which is working very well.

However, when I plug my Sony PRS505 in, Calibre gives me the message "Sony Pocket Edition detected" in the lower left of the screen. At the top right of the screen (near the big red heart) are the words "Connected PRS505."

Does Calibre think I'm plugging in the Sony 300? I'm running XP SP3.

It's just an artifact of the fact that under the hood the 300/505 are identical right upto their device IDS, so calibre uses the same driver for them.
