This package provides an interface to the SONY Reader PRS-500 over USB.
The public interface of libprs500 is in L{libprs500.communicate}. To use it
>>> from libprs500.communicate import PRS500Device
>>> dev = PRS500Device()
>>> dev.get_device_information()
('Sony Reader', 'PRS-500/U', '1.0.00.21081', 'application/x-bbeb-book')
There is also a script L{prs500} that provides a command-line interface to
libprs500. See the script
for more usage examples. A GUI is available via the command prs500-gui.
The packet structure used by the SONY Reader USB protocol is defined
in the module L{prstypes}. The communication logic
is defined in the module L{communicate}.
This package requires U{PyUSB<http://pyusb.berlios.de/>}.
In order to use it as a non-root user on Linux, you should have
the following rule in C{/etc/udev/rules.d/90-local.rules} ::
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="029b", SYSFS{idVendor}=="054c",
MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev"
You may have to adjust the GROUP and the location of the rules file to
suit your distribution.
