Compatible with PRS600?

jedavis1 · 09-30-2009, 02:35 PM

I have did a quick search here and at kovidgoyal.net but don't see for sure weather Calibre supports the new PRS600. Does it? I just bought one and it will arrive tomorrow, but was wondering about that. I hate the Sony software and almost use Calibre exclusively.

It doesn't work with the 0.5.x versions, but I think it does with the newer 0.6.x versions.

Just downloaded the latest version today and it works great with my 600 - though it shows it is connected to a 700 - no problems though! I converted several books and loaded them with no trouble at all.

Several of the newer Sony Readers reuse device ID's from earlier ones so that Calibre has no way to tell them apart. However as you find they behave in identical fashion as far as Calibre is concerned so this is not an issue.

Taken from Calibre's website "At the moment calibre has full support for the SONY PRS 300/500/505/600/700, Cybook Gen 3/Opus, Amazon Kindle 1/2/DX, Netronix EB600, Ectaco Jetbook, BeBook/BeBook Mini, Irex Illiad/DR1000, Adroid phones and the iPhone. In addition, using the Save to disk function you can use it with any ebook reader that exports itself as a USB disk."
