Ladies and Gentlemen
I have a weird behaviour here on Ubuntu 10.04 with my Sony PRS-600 ereader. The device worked on Ubuntu 9.10 and still does on Windows, so it must be my system. The internal memory isnt conveniently automounted anymore.
Ubuntu creates a device /dev/sdc, but no /dev/sdc1. I can mount /dev/sdc and access the data properly. A behaviour I personally haven't ever seen :). This is the extract from a mount:
/dev/sdc on /home/marc/test type vfat (rw)
There are also two card readers in the device (sdd and sdf). Here's my dmesg.

I reckon once I get it back to create a normal /dev/sdc1 again, I get back the normal behaviour. Ou yes, gparted and fdisk show me no partitions at all.
if you need any more info, please, Im happy to provide it.
cheers!
