Send to Device options greyed out

starrigger · 05-08-2010, 02:44 AM

I've just put an SD card in my Sony Reader for the first time in a while. Calibre detects the card OK, and shows it in the appropriate window with the space available. But when I go to send a book to the reader, my options for where and how to send it are all greyed out except for the Set Default option.

I want the default to be the main memory for now, but in order to copy a large book onto the SD card, I had to set the default to the card, copy the book, then set the default back to main memory.

It worked, but it seems like something's wrong here. I've got version 6.51 in Win XP.

This is one of those "is it plugged in?" level questions, but it's so basic we often overlook it: Is the card formatted?

Dunno, I've never had to format an SD card. Since it was detected by Calibre, and Calibre copied successfully to it (with the workaround), I assumed that it came properly formatted. Okay, I just stuck the card into the slot on my laptop, and it shows up correctly in windows explorer, so I assume it is properly formatted.

when it shows the card in the window, does it show it as card a or card b. And is it an SD card or a memory stick?

It's an SD card, and shows up as Card B.

Hmm strange. Is calibre able to read the list of books on the SD card?

Yes. (Just one book at the moment.)

And the Reader can open and read the book that Calibre put there, after I made it the default Send destination.

Does restarting calibre help?

Also what version of calibre are you using?

Can't remember if I restarted it last night or not. But I've now upgraded to Calibre 6.52, and it's working correctly. Whatever the problem was, it's gone away.

EDIT: Was using 6.51 before.
