Not sure if this is the right forum, but having trouble transferring
books to my sony 505. I downloaded books in EPUB format to my computer.
I've tried using the 'copy' command to send them to the reader (plugged in via USB and showing up as drive 'F' on my computer) I put them in the media/devices/books folder. If I pull up the 'F' drive, it looks like they are there, but if I unplug the reader they are not there. I have tried just dragging and dropping the files from my computer on to the 'F' drive, and again it looks like they are there, but they are not when I open the reader. I've tried syncing through the Sony reader software that I downloaded from the Sony site. I click 'sync', looks fine, but when I click on the 'status' button it says 'completed: 0 of 2 files copied'. In other words, it is not copying them to the reader. Suggestions, please? Thanks, Helene |

So here's the update. The reader persistently said 'do not disconnect' for 2 hours. I finally closed down the library program and the books DID show up in the title list. However, both the first and last page show as 'page 1', and if I click on it, it says 'invalid page'.
Help, please? Helene |

Hi Helene R, Welcome to mobileread.
Where did you get the books? do they have DRM? you might need to authorize your reader on the sony reader software and/or the Adobe Digital Editions software. Have you tried dragging and dropping them using the Reader Library software instead of sync? If they don't have DRM you could try using calibre. |
