Problems trying to get Calibre working with Sony PRS-T1

I am trying to get calibre working with my wife's Sony PRS-T1 and her PC (running XP).

I have Calibre 0.9.0 installed, and have prevented Sony's reader program from starting.

1) When I click on "Data transfer Mode" on the device I get a prompt from windows about what application to run - and as calibre is not listed - I say do nothing. This is annoying but I thought I would report it before the main problem:

2) If I click on "Device" in calibre - the prs-t1 respectably flashes between some message about charging having stopped and the main data transfer screen. Ending up displaying the notice: The Reader is unable to charge as no power supply is being detected. Please check the User guide for details.

Then Calibre reports an error communicating with the device with this as the details:


calibre, version 0.9.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

unable to open database file

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 85, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 466, in _books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\prst1\driver.py", line 162, in books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\usbms\driver.py", line 246, in books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\prst1\driver.py", line 245, in sync_booklists
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\prst1\driver.py", line 274, in update_device_database
OperationalError: unable to open database file

Bright ideas please...

Mind did that.. I have to remember to plug it into the computer then open calibre then hit transfer data bar then wait about a min then evey thing is fine. Done any other way I get errors! My K3 doesnt matter the order just plug & in with calibre open within seconds it ready! ugh Life in the slow lane vs life in the fast lane hehehehe

I just did the 0.9.0 update yep works the same.
