Sony PRS-650: Memory Cards are not recognized
Hello,
i have a little problem with the new PRS-650 from sony: The Calibre does not recognize the memory cards in the device. It could only be seen as an extern device. So i cannot manage the reader the way i want to. Thanks for your help |

What memory cards did you try ?
I had no problems with several 1,2 and 4 GB SDHC cards. |

That's happened to me twice before. In both cases, unplugging the reader, and plugging it in again (once its ready to go) has fixed it.

16GB cards dont work with the SONY readers. Use a smaller card.

The 650 reader supports cards up to 32GB, I have two 16GB cards in mine right now, they work in the reader, and in calibre, but I have had the cards be not recognized a couple of time by calibre. My problem however has always resolved itself by simply plugging the reader into the computer for a second or third time.

The Reader has no problem with the SDHC card. Only calibre hasn't recognized it as an internal memory. I have more than 8 GB of pdf-Files and epub's on the sd card and the reader just works with it.
But it would be much easier if i could use calibre for managing the data on it. Thanks |

Run debug device detection to see if your OS (you never do say what you are using) properly reports the drive to calibre. Post the results here. My guess is that the card is not being properly reported. If device detection does see the card, then check that the file Sony Reader/database/cache.xml is on the card and writable. |

Well, the problem is now clear. The solution isn't.
First, you never said that the device wasn't recognized at all. We have been operating under the assumption that the problem is the card, but it is worse than that. Your version of windows is not correctly reporting the drive information. For example, Code:
DISK&V EN_SONY& Code:
DISK&VEN_SONY& I have no idea why this might be happening. Perhaps someone else will. |
