OK, I found the solution at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...5&postcount=20

The files need to be in the root directory of the SD card.

Ach!

Yeah, that'll do it. Always somethin' simple that trips a body up. Unless it's a bunch of somethings simple.

Anyway, glad you got it worked out.

igorsk (or anyone who knows), when you say to connect the reader to the USB and then run Connect to save the info before turning it off or flashing it, what exactly needs to be done? Does that mean to double click on Sony Reader in Connect once Connect is running and the Sony is plugged into the USB?

Me too have some lots of pdb. I guess at the very least, a pdb->lrf must be if not easy, quite doable, given already existing tools.

if the PDB is not full of DRM, Book Designer should be able to load it.

.pdb is just a container. It could contain e-books in the eReader format, as well as e-books in other formats such as iSilo, Plucker, ...

I just want to be able to drop a pdb onto the memory card without having to do any conversion. I have over 9000 of them :-)

you can do that. But your Sony won't display any of them. not without conversion.

Does the flasher work under the latest firmware 1.0.03.07170? Has anyone tried it? I receive my reader today, can't wait to install all those hacks!

Might be a dumb question, but can the universal flasher be used to unbrick from a wanton hack application session?

I must've gotten something wrong in the last one I made up and I get stuck on the "Starting Up" screen.

I just need /opt re-flashed. My firmware should be fine. ;-)

If the menu comes up when you insert the card, then yeah, just reflash with a good set of files.

If not, and you're still bricked after a reset, you'll likely have to reapply the firmware.
