- Re: USB Card Reader Not Recognised In reply to Michael Kilpatrick • Apr 28, 2007 I think installing another OS for such a simple task is a little bit of an overreaction to what 99.9% of Mac users would feel is a non-problem.
- I did a full factory reset, restarted my laptop twice, and tried unplugging and plugging in the cable again, and my laptop (Mac) still won't show the device in Finder. It just doesn't show up at all even though the Kobo says it's connected to the computer.
Owners of these devices can use Adobe Digital Editions 1.7 and later to transfer Adobe DRM-protected content to and from the Sony Reader on Windows. Windows and Mac OS users can both use Sony's latest eBook Library software to transfer Adobe DRM-protected content to and from the Sony Reader. See Sony's site for more information.
Note: On Mac OS, the new eBook Library software does not add support for these devices to Digital Editions itself. However, it's necessary to install Digital Editions and authorize it to an Adobe ID.

As a writer of both technical documentation and fiction, the ebook reader has become crucial to my success. It's not just the writer that benefits from ebook reader. The IT administrator, engineering staff, and even end users stand to gain from these great tools. But when most people think about ebooks, they think of Kindles, NOOKS, and iPads. What most don't realize is there are desktop versions of ebook readers as well. Where are these ebook readers? You'd be surprised.

Bottom line
Mac Doesn't Recognize Password
The world of ebooks is one that will only continue to open up to users of all types. As an author, seeing ebooks and ebook readers growing exponentially assures me that my course change, some five years ago, was right on the money. It's a great time to be an author, a reader, and a member of the ever-growing world of IT. The ability to read documentation, text books, and more on your desktop is a boon to anyone who needs to read anywhere.
