PRS-650 Transferring library from 505

mediax · 12-07-2010, 06:24 AM

I've got my PRS-505 library stored on an SD card, and will be transferring this to a PRS-650. Is this simply a matter of swapping the SD card between the two readers, or do I need to install the books on my 650 through Calibre (because of changes in storage directories or whatever)?

I don't have any DRM'd material, so that's not an issue.

I did exactly that a couple of months ago. It was as easy as just swapping the SD card over from the 505 to the 650.

I have to say that I didn't have any DRM infested books though. I guess you would need to make sure you have the new 650 authorised first if you do.

EDIT: Didn't notice the "no DRM" statement. You should be good to go!

Thanks Bilbo - that's exactly the answer I was hoping for!
