"Reader for PC" app not recognizing x50 models?
I've loaded the latest Sony "Reader for PC" software on a couple of my PC's, but the app still refuses to recognize either my 650 or my 950 models. Has anyone else seen this issue?

Yes, same issue here. Then I quickly decided to get rid of the Sony software again. So no suggestions for a solution, unfortunately.

Sorry, here is the mantra again.

Calibre is highly recommended.

The Reader for PC is working (well, kind of... it's full of bugs...) with both my 350 and 950, for what it's worth.

But it won't recognize my 950 if I put any memory card in it.

You could use the older Reader Library software. You can still find it on the Sony site here:

That new version has never worked for me. It crashes every time I open it. I even rebuilt my computer, fresh OS install (for other reasons...) and it does the same thing. Seems like an alpha release.

Glad I saw this. I've been happily using the Sony Reader Library on my laptop with my 650 for nearly a year now. I wondered how the new PC app would work, now I know. I think I'll just leave well enough alone.

I tried the new Reader for PC. Twice. Both times it kept freezing and wouldn't recognize my non-Reader Store books, then it messed up my Reader Library software. I finally just said "Screw it," uninstalled both, and reinstalled Reader Library. So long story short, I wasn't impressed and don't plan to switch programs.
