In short, the Sony Reader WiFi Touch is detected by Calibre; but there's no visibility of Reader contents on Calibre. However, if an EPUB is dragged & dropped into the device from Calibre library, upon disconnecting the eReader, the EPUB is shown to have been successfully moved. Very frustrating.
I'm running 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx Ubuntu software.
The db on your reader is corrupted. Delete it and then reconnect your reader. database/ books.db
The db is Sony_Reader/
And feel free to complain to SONY about their crappy firmware.
