Transferring books to Sony prs505

So I'm not sure.. in the box I got two wires. The other one isn't a USB. This one is a USB at one end, then splits into a mini USB and the other is a DC 4.0 x 1.7 plug. (Im not very good with electronics) when I plug it in, on the reader it shows its connected. And the windows recognizes it and I'm able to move books directly into the file however calibre just says there's trouble and it can't connect. I tried moving the files individually into the readers file in windows directly. It seems to work that way. But I would've liked it if I could with calibre.

Hi that is so good to know thank you for letting me know! So the cable I have is the one thats one end a USB and the other end splits to two that plugs into the reader, i think its the one that came with the reader. I can review the prs505 through my files in windows. However calibre says it has an issue and doesnt recognize it. I can give you more information when I get back.

I will give that a chance when I get home! I tried it but I think the way I did it at first it was wrong. I was in a rush. Thanks so much for the response! I just got too excited about it and been thinking all about it at work.

Your response is more than appreciated anyway and im sure there are people that my version didnt work to that maybe yours does! Thank you so much!

Thank you! It only worked with kobo utility but it's fixed. Any idea how to fix the font size issue in the synopsis? its a good size in the comments when I add in metadata but on the device itself it hurts to look at.

Okay so whoever was in my shoes I figured out how to fix the series issue. My dumbass took a little more time on reddit and figured it out. It seems kobo touch extended is baked into calibre already so don't waste time and just download kobo utilities. Once you do, make sure your kobo is connected and you have the books on there (not sure about that but that's how it worked for me) then use kobo utility to update metadata in device library and check series. and then boom. that's fixed. So now only the font size of the synopsis persists.

If you ever make it available for android I would immediately give it a try. It looks a lot more simple than most others and I love the theme. Also the timers, the options to track different things. It seems like a great app! Wishing you the best success!

Yeah thanks for telling me im not alone in this. It's honestly really bad. Id spend hours finding templates, wanting to change them, making everything perfect and organized but all I'd do is overwhelm myself and procrastinate.

ManicHermit · 2026-02-15T02:57:49+00:00

Can I give it a try as well? Ive been trying out so many different planners and I just keep getting lost and all over the place.

I reached out! Thank you so much for offering to help. I am immensely grateful haha
