I also want to say that being totally clueless myself about how all these drivers and functions get made/added to Calibre, a huge THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO ARE WORKING TO FIGURE IT OUT!
Hubby's T-1 arrived today and it appears to be a very nice device indeed! He has not, in the past, been very organized with his old original Nook (and I can't blame him, because I tried Shelves and quickly abandoned them as too cumbersome). He is looking forward to getting a chance to try the tags to collection thing in Calibre. |

I just wanted to point out that the "eject this device" feature in the current beta version of calibre only unmounts one of the two volumes. |

I've got a driver that right now will actually create the collections (no thumbnail support), but it needs a bit more polish before it's usable. Current issues are: - Does more operations on the database than needed. - Empty databases produce weird/incorrect id #s (seems like a SQLite bug) - Doesn't delete books out of the DB correctly when removing them. - Doesn't remove empty collections. - Doesn't support anything but tags for collections, and can't turn it off. - Doesn't support generation/copying of thumbnails or any other advanced feature of the 505 driver. So, right now it reads metadata from the device correctly. It also reads collection information from the device. You can add books to collections straight on the device by editing metadata. You can also send books and it will add it to collections based on your tags (but not series). I've split it out from the PRS505 driver since it can't really share any of the code. It may have unknown issues on Windows as well. |

I think this same bug is present with the previous models that have a "Settings" volume as well.

When I connect I get 4 drives (IM, 2xremovable cards, Setting). When I use Calibre eject or Windows "Remove USB mass storage device", all 4 drives are disconnected. No probs at all. Last edited by jackie_w; 10-07-2011 at 03:15 PM. Reason: typo |

I've never used Calibre on Windows, but I wouldn't be surprised that such a bug is platform specific. I have only used OS X, and can't be 100% sure it is consistent, to be honest. But how devices work on Windows versus Linux/BSD platforms is pretty different.

Yes it is platform specific, just tested.
At home, I'm running OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and experience this bug. Just tested the same beta version of calibre on Windows 7 at work and the "eject this device" works as expected and unmounts both volumes. |

I just got through 24 hours of flying so I'm a little loopy, but, IIRC, on Unix (OS X and linux) calibre only ejects the drives it knows about, i.e. not the SETTINGS, etc. partitions. On windows it ejects everything.

Just wanted to thank those of you who are smart enough to work on these things. I just bought a new T1 today and totally didn't even think something like this needed to happen.
Thanks for making reading on a Sony without using their shitty library a reality. |

I'm sorry you are not capable of properly using Reader Library. But I've been using most versions since my 500 and it's worked very well and very easy.

I've opened up a bug with an early patch for the T1. It supports collections mostly similar to how the 505 driver supports it. Seems to handle additions, deletes, and editing collections directly well enough. Doesn't support any of the advanced thumbnail stuff that can be done on the 350/6xx/9xx models though. Should be easy to add, but I don't know if I'll be the one to do it. |
