Hey Everyone,
I know that this may not be the best place for this question it being part Calibre and part Sony Reader but hopefully someone familiar with the workings of both can try to answer my question.
I'm using a Sony PRS-300SC I recently bought and the details of my particular problem are too complicated and long winded to go into details about. In short I'm having problems involving my battery or batteries (after multiple replacements) and since the return window is still open on the product I wanted to send it back for a refund. Unfortunetely when I first got the reader and the original battery managed to stay charged for less then a minute I managed to load several books onto the reader.
In order to send it back I need to remove the books I loaded onto it but the device won't stay on long enough to get to the main screen or even complete a hard reset. Worse even though the reader successfully connects to the computer via usb cord and I see the reader contents in the file explorer calibre will not connect anymore to the device and I get an error message instead that calibre support disclosed to me revolves around a failing device or a bad usb connection and/or port. Even a soft reset of the device with the button hole does nothing.
My question is if there is a way to delete the books stored in the reader without calibre or a similar program perhaps just through the file explorer? I know from previous posts that the person shouldn't even think about messing around with the file explorer contents of the reader but at this point I'm running out of options and a shrinking return window. I have ordered a third replacement battery in the meantime in order to try and get a long enough charge to complete a wipe.
Any input by the community would be greatly appreciated.
