Sony PRS-350, Reader, ADE, PDF, EPUB, HELP
Don't want to say how many hours I've spent trying to download two books from my local digital library to my new Sony PRS-350 e-reader.
My setup:
Windows XP Svc Pk 3, IE 8
Sony PRS-350 e-reader, listed as a compatible device with my area's digital library
Authorized my computer and device on both Adobe Digital Editions and Sony Reader sites
I bought the Sony for borrowing from the library, rather than having to buy.
Downloaded a PDF book from the digital library to ADE but was unable to send it to the e-reader
Downloaded an EPUB book that is nowhere to be found on my PC and also not on ADE [and obviously not on the e-reader]
When downloading/attempting to download, the Sony Reader window opens up telling me "this computer is not authorized to preview this book".
I am not trying to buy a book from the Sony Store, only trying to download what I have borrowed from my library.
I've sent emails to the local library which supports the digital library, but it is too early to expect to hear back from anyone and I also hope that someone here will have some thoughts based on the information I have provided. I must be missing a step but after reading the instructions on the e-reader and online [and some posts here], I am no closer to figuring out what I am doing wrong.
Thanks to all for any information. I am bleary-eyed and need to get away from the screen. Will definitely check back later.
It may be useful to mention this (the need to install the Sony library software and the no-function on Mac) in the help for moving books from ADE to supported e-readers (the PRS-350 is on the list of supported devices), since it clearly states that ADE will recognize e-readers when you connect them to an authorized PC and will prompt you to authorize the ereader. I have been trying for two days to get it to work and authorize my e-reader...
Grateul for your post, though, so I can stop my attempts.

Why does ADE 4.0 not recognize my Sony PRS-350?
Why does ADE 4.0 not recognize my Sony PRS-350?
Hi olvaso
I have the exact same problem and needless to say, I am really pissed off!!!
Such technology should not have compatibility problems, either your reader can download ebooks or else it should not be sold as an ebook reader.
I've had to download a DRM removal tool in order to read ebooks that I PAID FOR on a regular e-reader that I REGULARLY BOUGHT!!!
The problem is, not all e-books can get unlocked so I already have 4 books I can't read except on my PC. -
Trying to download book from kobo to library then to PRS-350 reader
I am trying to download some books that I have purchased at the Kobo site into my Sony PRS-350 library so that I can drag them onto my Sony reader device. I have contacted Sony who couldn't help so they passed me along to Kobo, who also couldn't help, so they have sent me along to get help from Adobe.
I am really hoping that you are able to help me so I can get reading on my Sony reader device.
I keep getting a 'download failed' error message when I hit the download prompt on the Kobo site. I have installed all the new software with Sony and Adobe and still no luck.
Please help me!! I look forward to hearing from you soon
Thank you so much!!

I have had a Sony PRS 350 ebook for a couple of months, and regularly plugged it into my ordinary MacBook to recharge it. It made no difference whether the lid on the MacBook was open or shut.
A week ago, my MacBook Air arrived I now plug the ebook into one of the USB-ports on the MacBook Air to re-charge the ebook. All goes well, unless I shut the lid on the Air. When I re-open the lid, I am told -- wrongly -- that I have disconnected a device without first ejecting it. I then find that the ebook has frozen, and must use a straightened paper-clip to restore it to life.
Any suggestions, other than to take the MacBook back under the guarantee ?What I assume is happening is that you MBA is going to sleep when you close the lid, terminating the charge. One the charge stops, the PRS-350 puts itself into standby after 10 minutes and is unavailable to reconnect when the MBA comes out of sleep.
I recommend that you simply buy a cheap Blackberry charger with a micro USB connector and use that to charge you reader. The reader will charge more quickly and you will be able to use it while it is charging. For more info, go to http://www.mobileread.com. -

I cannot get ADE to see my Sony PRS-505 reader.
Have got the latest (Mac) ADE and Reader software (re-installed several times), an Adobe ID, the iMac is authorised, but I cannot get the PRS-505 to appear as a bookshelf in ADE, nor does the eReader show any manifestation of ADE. Have trawled the forums and FAQ's bu to no avail. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
regards PeterHi,
In order to fix this please do following.
Solution 1)
1) Connect your Reader to your computer.
2) Once conncted you will find a new drive created similar to C or D drive under My computer.
3) Open the Readers Drive and you will find one or two folders with name Digital Editions.
4) Delete those folder and plug off and re plug in the Reader.
5) Authorize Reader from the same Adobe ID which you used to Authorize Adobe Digital Editions.
6) Now try to transfer books to your Reader
Solution 2)
1) Click Start>>Run
Type "regedit" in the box and hit enter.
Locate the following key HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Adobe>Adept>>Device delete the full folder (Right click on it and click delete).
2) Now Connect your Reader and then open Digital Editions.
3) Now it should recognize your Reader.
4) Connect the Reader and authorize it with same ID.
I hope this will help you..

How can I authorizing a Sony PRS-300 Reader?
My ebook account (Sony) was recently transferred to Kobo Books. Some of the books I've purchased are Adobe DRM protected. This didn't used to be a problem before the transfer. I don't seem to be able to authorize my Sony reader. Is there any way this can be done?
The PRS-300 came with ADE. Adobe discontinued supporting this model of reader which effectively made it useless for ebooks protected by Adobe DRM. Other models of the Sony Reader continue to be supported. I find it hard to believe that this particular model was axed when the same, or a similar, fix could have been provided. Shame on Adobe!First of all, you should have used the Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, not an old, obsolete version. Always use the very latest version. 8.3 was simply the first ACR version to support your camera model, that's all.
Note that the DNG Converter works only on folders, not on individual raw files. Put all your Sony raw files in a folder and run the Converter on that folder containing the raw files.
I have absolutely no clue as to what on Earth you mean by : "upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5".
You also need to make sure that CS5 is fully updated. You cannot rely on the highly and notoriously unreliable Adobe auto updater to tell whether you have the latest update installed or not.
I still have no idea what platform you are on, Mac or Windows. Please read the following for next time:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

hi.
I'm using this reader for about six months. The cool thing, but are lacking in dictionaries Can we somehow add the English-Russian and Russian-German?
I work as a system administrator, in Russian literature is small enough good about the administration.
I'd love to have appeared in the Sony's store dictionaries as a patch for the reder.Hello,
Welcome to the User Discussion Forums.
Reader Store from Sony carries over 2 million different titles and since Reader is open format, supporting both industry standard formats ePub and PDF, you can access even more books from other online bookstores and get content from other online sources.
Thank you for your Suggestion for English-Russian or Russian-German Dictionary's. Please visit this link to make the request directly to the Sony Reader Bookstore,

Sony reader PRS-350 - Problems still unsolved?
iMac does not recognize Sony PRS-350 Reader when USB connected. This problem was first described in 2009. In the Reader Library software, Error is displayed where it should be Reader. Moving downloaded books is impossible. Could it be true that Sony still has done nothing to repair this? Any advice is welcome, thanks!
The way you describe your problem tells me that it may be because of the
digital rights assigned to the ebook. Publishers and resellers have the
ability to restrict downloads to your PC.
With ADE in Library mode, put your cursor on the title of the ebook. A
small arrow will appear. Put your cursor on that arrow, and a drop-down
menu will appear. In the middle, you'll see the digital permissions
embedded in the ebook, and I'd bet that the one about copying says
'no'.... If this is the case, you can go back to the source and complain.
They might - or might not - be able/willing to do anything about it.
Hope this helps!

The Adobe Digital Editions software on my PC does not recognize my Sony PRS-T1 reader.
The reader does not appear in the library (as a new line) on the PC.The back door to go from ADE to Sony Reader PSR-T1
Download book to Digital Editions, close it. Go to My Documents, to My Digital Editions folder--open it. Pick the file of the book you want on your Reader and right click on it--go to open with--choose Reader for PC. The book should open in Reader for PC (you will need to log in)-- click the back arrow. You should be on the home page and the book should show in My Library. Transfer from Reader for PC to the Reader as usual.
I hope this will help you. -
My sonr prs t1 reader is not supported by digital editions
i recently downloaded digital editions,only tofind that it does not support my sony prs t1 reader.
Hi!
Authorising the computer via ADE does not affect the reader, just the
computer. Since you are already authorised, the problem is somewhere else.
I don't know everything you've done, but let me give you some of the steps
that seem to work for others. I am not a MAC person, so I will do this in
general terms, and hope you have enough skill with the MAC to know what to
do. You may have done all of these steps and if so, then you have a
different problem.
First, you must attach your PRS-505 to your MAC so that the MAC recognises
it as a disk drive.
Next, you must go to the SONY Store and create an account, or login to it.
When you have logged in, the SONY Store will look for an attached device -
your PRS-505. It will register the device with the SONY Store, and also
update a small file on the reader with user information including the
registration. This is key for Adobe Digital Editions (ADE). When this is
done, the SONY Store will go to a "ready" state, which is when you would go
look for books to download, etc. Instead, log out of the SONY Store, but
keep your PRS-505 plugged into the MAC.
Now, open ADE. As ADE opens, it looks for attached devices just like the
SONY Store did, and when it finds one, it will check that file to see that
the reader is authorised. ADE will then display the reader in the left hand
panel of Library view, and activate it for you to work with. The PRS-505
will display a small circle with two arrows in it, which means that it is
communicating with ADE. Now you can drag and drop books from ADE to your
PRS-505.
When you are done, shut down ADE first. The PRS-505 will finish its
internal update and the small circle will disappear. At that point, you can
eject the reader or disconnect it from your MAC. This process is
important. If you just pull the plug before the PRS-505 has finished its
update, it will corrupt some files.
I hope this helps!

prs-350 reader, finally ready to download a book from kobo, but my reader keeps saying it is full, i had 182 books and deleted about 40, so I should have room. can you please help me?
Hi
Control the amount of memory free on your PRS-350 info menu, I think on:
[Home]-->[Settings]-->[About] (Total memory approx 1,4GB)
(Perhaps you deleted ebooks only from PRS-350’s database, but ebook’s file still exist on reader or file deleted were too small and new one is too big (containing images, for example))

ADE 3.o doesn't recognize my Sony PRS-T1. Installation run well on desktop. Unlock of an e-book run well on desktop. Ebook copied to reader. But reader is not recognized be ADE so I cannot unlock ebook on reader.
Thanks a lot.Hello
I am very sorry to tell you that ADE is not compatible with Prs-T1. You have to use calibre or reader for pc. In reader for pc you can autorize yor reader for drmprotected material. After that you can use calibre if you dont like reader for pc.
