Bug of reader - Books copied to my library can't appear!

As described, The reader software can't display books copied to my library from reader (PRS-T1). Only one book appears in the library, however, all books have been copied in my books folder.

The version of reader for pc is 1.1.05.13310.

Your post reads as if you have transferred books from your T1 to Reader - which, as far as I know, can't be done ?

Well, I believe there was once a very complicated way of doing it on a x50, but it baffled me...........

Right, though it confuses me that you have managed to transfer a single book and not all? Am I missing something?

All books transferred can be found in the folder "My Books\Reader", however, only one book appears in the reader software. It happened after I reinstalled the reader software and imported books from T1 (about 20 books).

Im guessing but I suspect that the reader software doesn't scan folders. You may need to add the books to the reader software for them to register

Use Calibre to transfer books from PC to e-reader

Hi AncientShark,

Are these DRM protected purchased books that you are having a problem with.?

If so are the account details for the PRS-T1 & reader software the same..:smileyconfused:

I have the exact same problem. Due to other problems with Sony's horribly bad software I tried to reinstall it, but having done that I can't transfer the books my T1 to the library. When I mark all or several of the books and click "transfer to library", it starts copying them all, but when it's finished only one of them appears in the library. It doesn't matter whether they're DRM-protected or not, epubs or pdf:s, etc. If I try to transfer them one by one, only the last one transferred appear in the library.

The reason one wants to transfer them at all to the Sony Reader Library, and not just use Calibre, is of course that Calibre doesn't support syncing and exporting of annotations and highlights.

...should read ' click "Copy to My Library"' rather than "transfer to library"...

I must say Im puzzled by the queries here. You reinstalled the Sony reader software and by doing so  it has removed all the books that were stored on the PC. Surely not

Having said that could you not just re download them via your PC, instead of trying to copy them from the reader.

Also have you not got a backup of all your books
