Error calibre OSX: 'int' object has no attribute 'replace'

dorjeduck · 11-28-2012, 01:09 AM

Hi,

Since quite some time I get the error message below when trying to use callibre to transfer ebooks to my Sony PSR-T1 on a Max OSX Snow Lion. Does anybody has a similar problem and found a way to solve this. Right now I cant use callibre anymore due to this problem ....

Thanks a lot

martin

Try deleting the books.db file from your reader. It appears to have some corrupted records.

Just as a suggestion, maybe you can consider catching this error in your program and give a error message suggesting to delete the books.db file as it seems to be corrupt. When I tried to find a solution for the problem I had before asking here I found quite some people posting here and there that they have a similar problem.
