PRS 300 and duplicate titles

rypleigh · 12-27-2009, 03:08 PM

Hello,

I recently received a PRS300 as a gift. I have had nothing but trouble with the library, but the most frustrating problem is that every time my library syncs it adds the titles again, so I have a title entered 4 time or more on the unit, but only once in the library on my computer. I have tried to delete them from the unit itself, but it tells me the only way to delete it is to delete it from the library and re-sync, or I can delete the titles one at a time. I really don't have time to now delete 298 titles one by one. I don't think its something that I am doing wrong as the unit sync's automatically when connected to the computer. Can anyone help me with this?

The synch feature is pretty terrible, I would turn it off. After you turn it off, then go to your Reader on the library, hit Ctrl + shift, and that will allow you to select multiple titles at once, so you can mass delete them. Then drag and drop the books you want manually from your Library to your Reader.
