Calibre not detecting Sony Reader Daily (PRS-900) on Vista
I recently got the Sony Reader Daily and after frustrations with Sony's software I found out about Calibre. It is wonderful, you can't even compare it to Sony's software. But I can't get it to recognize my device. I'm running Vista.
Here's the output from "calibre-debug.exe -g" and "calibre-debug.exe -d". I've tried rebooting the computer several times at no avail. Your help is greatly appreciated. ---------------------------------------------- C:\Program Files\Calibre - E-book Management>calibre-debug -g link hasn't been detected! link hasn't been detected!

Forget Calibre until you can see your device as a removable disk in Windows Explore. ADE (or Sony Library) installs a USB driver - and you need that.

Robert, thanks, I can see the drives in Windows Explorer (actually, I use Total Commander instead). I even did at file system delete of some books. I can also see the device in Sony Library ... so I suppose I have the USB drivers installed.

Sounds like your USB drivers are OK. Only other thing I can suggest is don't run Sony Library or ADE at the same time as Calibre; there may be some conflict.
I see from your trace, PRS-900 was never checked for. Make sure your version of Calibre supports the 900. Robert Last edited by rmm200; 03-02-2010 at 10:22 PM. |

ADE & eBook Library do not install a USB driver to talk to a 700.

What version of calibre is this, looks like a rather old one.

I verified, it's Version: 0.6.43.
Also, the debug info says Calibre attempts to use a prs700 driver: <calibre.devices.prs700.driver.PRS700 object at 0x02C40ED0> while mine is PRS 900. Is that OK or should it use a prs900 instead? |

yes, the prs700 driver supports the 900 as well.
Go to preferences->advanced and click debug device detection and post the output |

Kovid, I'had read about "debug device detection" in the FAQ as well (I tried to do my homework) but under Preferences->Advanced I only have these options:
a text field: Maximum number of waiting worker processes (needs restart): 6 a button: Check database integrity I don't see .... oops.... I see the latest version in listed in bold is 0.6.43 but my version is 0.6.17. Sorry, I misread the version, you were right I have an old one. But I don't understand, I just downloaded last version from: http://calibre-ebook.com/download and now it says 0.6.43 there. Regardless, I'll upgrade and try again. Thanks! |

the only thing for which I seem to still be needing reader library is mass conversion from doc to rtf. I wasn't able to transfer doc to my sony reader through calibre I had to first convert the documents to rtf. If I'm missing something and there is a better way please let me know.
Thanks, Adrian |
