Books showing in Calibre not showing the whole book on reader

readerlover · 06-21-2015, 12:35 AM

I got my silver PRS-300 on Tuesday & have 15 books on it, which are all classics. When I put some different genre of books on it, the size of the book ends up showing 0.0 on the device part of Calibre when I put them on the device. What's going on? Will I have to put them on via ADE or what?

I have found that using ADE allows me to put the books that Calibre won't recognize onto the Reader perfectly fine with no problems at all.

Interesting, since either way the OS is performing a standard file copy...
How does drag-and-drop via the File Browser work out? What filesize does Explorer report for the book in calibre, ADE, and the ereader?

One potential problem I can guess at -- calibre's copy is corrupted, but the copy in ADE is still valid. Unless you copied from calibre to ADE and then to the ereader?

Do I delete the corrupted books off Calibre and put them back into Calibre via way of Add book or what?
