Can I thank OMK3 as following their suggestions I have just got my brand new today reader to work! So relieved. Thanks. I also think this is a great way to help solve problems.

I just got the Sony PRS-900 Daily Edition, and I'm having some trouble with the author and title names when I send them through Calibre to the device. The last letter of the author name and book title show an unrecognized character, as if it's in another language. If the author is Anne Rice, the e in Rice will be a square character. Any suggestions?

A heading for Syncing Problems is needed in the troubleshooting guide wiki.
A problem reported at the following thread was given a solution that worked by Dr. Drib: Can't sync ebook library with reader Quote:

I found the below post and wondered if the information is still useful and could be used in the Troubleshooting Guide?

Fantastic
What a great idea. I can usually muddle through any problems I have. But trying to troubleshoot the girlfriends reader via email when I'm in Brazil or Africa, as they say at Mastercard "Priceless"
Thanks, Daryl |

Hi,
This is my first post so if I haven't read the answer to my problem by not reading all of this thread - sorry but you seem to know about the subject I'm having a problem with - ADE. ADE wasn't registering any books on my 300 then I found out how to get books into ADE - I have also downloaded 3 library books and transferred to ADE but they don't appear as borrowed books but as purchased books and I can't seem to change this. As I want to return one book early this does matter at the moment, wouldn't you believe it I"ve waited 3 weeks and when I get it I find I have read it !! Thanks in anticipation PeteS |

Welcome to MR, PeteS I'm sorry your first post is about a problem.
I haven't borrowed any library books yet, but the Wiki page for the Sony Troubleshooting Guide (that is still being put together) has a section on borrowing library books. Maybe this will help. Please let us know if it works or not. [moderator note - the information can be found in the MobileRead wiki here also in a sticky in the Sony forum here. The new wiki page name is "Sony Reader Start-Up and Reset Guide"] Last edited by dreams; 12-27-2010 at 02:52 AM. Reason: added mod note for new wiki page link and took out old link |

Dreams: Thanks for your help. Pointed me in the right direction - and now have my borrowed books in the right place, but still couldn't return but then realised when I first borrowed the book opened with Reader Library rather than ADE. Have now successfully returned book. Great forum this really impressed with how helpful and friendly it is.

From Sony eSupport:
A Protected Page! error occurs on the Reader when opening a borrowed book that is in the ePub or PDF format. Quote: Solution: This may happen when borrowed Adobe DRM-protected ePub and PDF eBooks exist on the Reader at the same time. Follow this procedure to correct this issue: Delete all borrowed books from the Reader. Verify that all borrowed books are in the same format (either ePub or PDF) before transferring them back to the Reader. I've updated the wiki Sony Reader Troubleshooting Guide with the error given and the steps to correct the error and the source of the (hopefully temporary) solution. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by Wetdogeared; 01-20-2010 at 12:54 PM. Reason: Added solution -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This happened for a book that my wife purchased, downloaded to her library and transferred to her reader. She was able to look at the book once it transferred. |

Thanks for all the guys/gals who put effort in making the wiki for trouble shooting. i am a PRS-500 owner for past 2 years but just bought a PRS-600 a month back and (sigh) encountered the quirkiness of PRS-600 first time like USB device not recognized and searched sony.com and got confused then as usual came back to mobileread and found the wiki answer in a jiffy and tried the least time taking one like doing a complete stop and viola it worked. once again thanks for the wiki and not making me search sony.com. my liking to PRS-600 is not as much as PRS-500 which unfortunately became unusable after sending it to firmware upgrade. the battery started draining so fast i could not even finish reading one book and it became so bad i called their laredo center but their response was bad. finally i gave up and bought a PRS-600 but still harbor a resentment in my heart and my lost love towards PRS-500.

A case of beer for an administrator might be a start!
