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

Well, I don't know what's baffling about being able to copy books in one direction as opposed to the other. The only baffling thing is Sony making it complicated and now not working. But it's definitely meant to work, and it used to work before the reinstall.

I saw the other post. It's really a worthless piece of software this. People have made other programs in order to extract annotations and highlights from the T1, but none for mac yet, alas.

The books are still stored on the PC, but that's not the point. The point is that we now can't copy books that are only stored on the T1 (because originally downloaded by wifi onto the T1, or originally transferred to the T1 with Calibre, etc) into the Reader Library.

And of course I have a backup of the BOOKS, but copying them from the T1 to the Reader Library on the computer (in my case a mac) is the only way to backup the annotations and highlights IN the books. And now I can't do that.

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

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.
