No troubles to report.

Hmm are you sure? Coz I certainly haven't added 700 support to calibre

I don't know what to say there. I'm using calibre on ubuntu 8.04 installed via binary installer. It shows up next to the library and I can send my books to it with "send to device".

It does say "Connected PRS-505" on the right. Maybe it thinks it's a 505?

Ah on linux, it has some heuristics to detect sony devices that are probably matching the 700 as well

So, you didn't need a 700... everyone just needs to move to Linux.

I suspect proper support is going to require more than just treating it as a 505, especially since its database format will have changed, with the addition of annotations.

Tried Calibre on the 700 and it is not working properly, what I did was make the PRS 700 the default library as a temp work around. What is cool is that the magazine downloads work well this way.
