I have recently been forced to upgrade to Windows 10 (grumble, mutter) and now it seems that calibre will no longer communicate with my Sony PRS 650 ereader (even more grumbles and mutters) and I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and/or knows of a solution. Unfortunately it seems unlikely a solution is going to come from Calibre; a bit of googling turned up this comment from the Calibre developer Kovid Goyal: "Given that this device line is discontinued, I'm not particularly interested in spending time on it myself." It does seem to be some interface issue with Windows 10.
So it seems that once again (it has happened many times before) I'm to be penalised because I have looked after my piece of technology but must now consider replacing it simply because it is a bit older, even though it still works just fine. The only problem I've ever had with it is battery exhaustion but having figured out how to replace the battery it's now on its fourth battery and doing just fine thank you very much!
I can still work with it but only by doing all management on an older computer also running an older Calibre or putting the books on manually which is doable but a pain.
Anyone help gratefully received.
