PRS-505 doesn't recognise memory stick.
My PRS-505 has stopped recognising my memory stick.
It used to work fine, but the other day I 'lost' all my books and collections. The memory stick itself seems to be OK, as I can plug it into my PC and browse it and the books are there. It also seems to be electrically connected to the Reader because when I connect the reader to my laptop both the OS and Calibre are able to see the memory stick. When I disconnect the reader from my laptop it scanns for new books and only shows books in main memory. I have tried deleting media.xml with no effect. Is this a known problem? Any solutions? |

You've tried reformatting it?

Could this be the PDF vs EPUB problem? Do you have PDFs and EPUBs checked out from libraries?

The EPUB/PDF issue is one that is related only to library checkouts (as I understand it) which will not allow the reader to display the books. Gives an error when opening, I think. I've never had it happen cause I avoid PDFs like the plague. |

I found that after adding ebooks or audiobooks to the memory stick drive and disconnecting the Sony from the PC that I take the stick out after it syncs and insert it again. It will sync again and everything shows up.

Please don't reply to a 3-year-old thread. Nobody's going to want to continue the conversation after so long.
