Hi there,

besides a lot of other problems with the buggy 1.0 firmware I noticed recently a bookmark bug:

After the Cybook has been switched on for a longer period of time (many hours or days) bookmarks cannot be set anymore. I can call the bookmark menu and select "Add bookmark" but nothing will happen. A reboot will always solve that problem.

Usually the Cybook save the last position you read in a book even without using a bookmark. In the case of this bug it will not. Currently I set a new bookmark every few pages, just to make sure I will not end up looking desperately for the page I was reading before the last reboot.

Does anybody recogneize this problem? Any hints? I am really looking forward to the next firmware update hoping it will kill a lot of those nasty bugs.

Alan

PS: I should mention that I only use prc-files (books I bought or I created with the MobiPocket Creator).

What I've always found helpful is to, when I want to turn it off - say for going to sleep for the night - is to first exit to the Library. When you do that it always bookmarks your current position. I've noticed just turing the Cybook off sometimes loses the current position.

I haven't noticed other bookmarking problems because I'm not one for 'bookmarking' a novel. Sorry.

Have a Merry Christmas!

And letting the batteri run out definitely loses the current position which is very irritating since the batteri indicator is not visible when reading a book.

What's most freaky is when I distinctly remember seeing battery level at 50% and then doing a long haul of reading - and leaving the Cybook on when I go to sleep, but especially the lots of page turning and suddenly finding the Cybook won't go to the next page. Oops! And of course whenever this DOES happen, I've gone through several hundred pages since my last 'exit-to-Library' bookmarking process!!!

I can't set any bookmarks on my cybook. I can call up the bookmark menu and select "add bookmark" but nothing will happen. I tried different eBooks but it didn't work with any off them

Yup, recognize it, happened just the other night after reading for many hours. Reboot fixed it, but ofcourse it took me a long time to find the page where I was at.

No hints yet ...

Happened to me too. I solved it by transferring the book from the card to the Cybook. It turned out my sd card had become corrupted. Are your books also on the card?

Hi again,

well it seems I am not the only one having a problem with getting back to the page in a book I was reading before.

What I did now is to turn on auto power off. So far I just let my Cybook turned on indefinitely. Power consumption is so low, it is not a problem at all. The bookmark bug usually appeared after many hours (or days) of the Cybook being turned on. So I figured a regular reboot (just like with Windows) would be a good idea.

With auto power off enabled the Cybook will save the position in a book before shutting down. So I hope to get at least a temporary solution for this bug. I will see whether my idea will work over the next days or not. I will keep you updated.

Alan

Happened to me too. I solved it by transferring the book from the card to the Cybook. It turned out my sd card had become corrupted. Are your books also on the card?

Yes. All my books are on the SD Card which was part of the Deluxe Edition.
After your post I tried to copy one of my books into the internal storage and then I tried the bookmark function again and it worked.
When I connect my Cybook to my PC, I allways get an error message that the SD Card is possibly corrupt (I use Windows Vista). It doesn't matter if I let Windows repair the card or not, the next time I connect the Cybook I get the same error message.
One of the main advantages of an EBook Reader is that I can take my whole library with me and the internal storage is way to small to store a usefull amount of EBooks in it. So is their at least a possibility to transfer a EBook from the storage card to the internal storage without having to connect it to a PC?
Then it would at least be possible to take my library with me on the SD Card and then copy the book I want to read into the internal storage, so I could use Bookmarks.
Not only do the bookmarks not work on the SD Card, whenever I reopen the EBook (after shutdown for example), the EBook starts at the cover page.
So I either have to keep my Cybook running, or read until the end of a capter, so that I can at least use the "Go To Table of Contents" feature to repostion the EBook. Since thir are no page numbers the "Go To Page..." also doesn't help.

Is repairing the card the same as reformatting it? I would try to reformat the card and be careful to "eject" the card before removing the USB cable. The Cybook obviously fails to write to the card.

The repair function is not the same as reformatting. Windows tries to repair the card, without destroying the contents. The repaired document will then be placed in a special folder. Strangely enough after Windows has finished "repairing" the card, this folder is still emty. Seams their are no documents to repair.
I also tried to reformat the card. This doesn't change a thing.
Since I transfered my EBooks to the Cybook using the synchonise function of the Mobipocket Desktop and since I'm able to read those book after synchronisation, the Cybook can write onto the card, it just doesn't create any bookmarks.

I do not think that is a valid conclusion. It is the Windows operation system that understands the file system when you write it from the Mobipocket Desktop. When you write from the Cybook it is the Linux in the cybook that has to know how to write to the filesystem. So if you have placed a file system on the card that the Linux system only can read you would get these symptoms.

I'm loving my CyBook, but the bookmark option just does not work reliably. I have experienced numerous instances when trying to set a bookmark locks the CyBook up entirely.

Strange; I use the bookmark facility all the time to mark pages with errors when I'm proofreading the books that I create. I've never had a problem with it.

I have never had a problem with bookmarks either. I assume that a corrupted file system on the SD card could give lock up symtoms since you try to write in the SD card when you bookmark.

Or is it dependent on what file are used?

No, that bug doesn't occur because of the SD card. At the moment, I've stored all my e-books on the device itself, and when I've been reading for a fairly long time the Cybook refuses to place bookmarks and to remember the page I last read as well.

It is not a storage card problem. I've experienced lockups with books on the storage card and books in main memory. The bookmark function stops allowing me to assign bookmarks and I can't use the bookmarks I've assigned. I usually have to fiiddle around with the Cybook (turning it on and off, pushing the reset button on the back, plugging it up to my computer) before I can at least go into the Bookmarks option and delete all my bookmarks. After that I can start assigning bookmarks again until it happens again.

This makes it quite tedious when I am reading a lengthy book and wind up losing my place in it. Then I have to start plugging in page numbers until I get close to where I was in the book and then I can start pressing the navigation button over and over until I get to my place in the book. The Cybook is great, but navigation is really awful.

I had the same problem with my ebooks on the SD card, but it went away when I moved them to the device. I hope the problem doesn't come back for me as it did for others.

I've got my first bookmark bug yesterday. I started the Cybook and when I started reading my book I thought, "didn't I read this before?". The Cybook was putting me a lot of pages back from where I had left the other time before. I tried to set bookmarks in several books and also this didn't work.

I have my books only in the internal memory. I tried to use the SD, but it keeps getting corrupted so now and then. :(

I have similar bug also. It looks like it happens only when batery is low, 50 percent or below but I am not sure yet, need more research.

When you get the bookmark bug are you reading a lot of books or have used a lot of bookmarks? On the other hand bookmarks ought just to be saved in a file so it would be a bit strange if you ran out of some resource.

Bookmarks get stored in the ".mbp" file for the book; there certainly should be no limit on them. As I said earlier, I use bookmarks a LOT when I'm proofreading books, and have not so far come across this problem.

My battery was 90% yesterday when I got this bookmark problem. I don't really use bookmarks, but I don't like to loose the last page where I was in my book.

Also I didn't have any bookmarks set. I just tried to set one when I found my current page back to prevent losing it again.

Could it be that writing a file require more power so when the battry is nearly empty it is OK to read the book but the writing of files will fail?

I don't think so because like I said my battery was at 90%. ;)

I've had the problems with bookmarks. I noticed it happening most on a book that had a lot of small graphics in it (i.e. at the start of every chapter).

If you experience it try going to the very first page in the book and select the option to remove all bookmarks. This worked for me but only when I did it at the very start of the book.

Not at all. Reading one book at a time, and deleting bookmarks regularly - even going so far as deleting all prior booksmarks and maintaining only one bookmark at a time....I still eventually had a problem creating a new bookmark and my Cybook freezing up.

The issue seems to be random and I've not been able to discern any noticeable pattern to it. Over the last 3 or 4 days I read the The Da Vinci Code. On the second day, my bookmarks were a complete mess and the Cybook kept locking up. I finished up the book yesterday and had no problems setting bookmarks or going to bookmarks.

I mentioned before that I would try to regularly my Cybook to check whether or not this would have an influence on that bug.

Well, so far, at least for me, it has. I have enabled auto shutdown and usually switch off my Cybook after reading, even if I am only going to pause for 15 minutes or so. Since doing this I have never again experienced that nasty bug.

Alan

Suddenly I could use bookmarks for my books stored on the SD-Card. I didn't reformat the card or anything.
Since then my Cybook switched several times between working bookmarks and not working bookmarks.
I was not yet able to determine what exactly causes the switch. My best guess at the moment is that it has something to do with connecting the Cybook either to load the battery or to synchronise it with the computer, because that's the only "special" thing I did. With bookmarks not working I connected my running Cybook with the power supply and after the cybook was loaded I disconnected it from the power supply without turning it off or reseting it and suddenly the bookmarks worked.

I couldn't set a bookmark one time after several hours of reading, I had to turn it off and on again for it to work. Not only did it not set a bookmark, but it hadn't saved the page I was on either. Looking for the page is a pain in the butt. Now I set bookmarks often so I don't spend half an hour flipping through looking for the page I was on.

This book was on the Cybook's memory, not an sd card.
There are no graphics in the book, except the cover.
I've never turned off the auto shut-off feature, I've had it set at one hour since I got the Cybook.
The battery said it was at 100%.

The only thing different that I am aware of was that I had been reading longer than usual.

I sent an email to Bookeen and this is the reply I got:
"This issue is well known, we have achieved a first enhancement which increases the bookmark feature stability but we did not find yet the final fix. We hope to integrate it on the next firmware upgrade which should be released in the next few weeks."

That is definitely good news.

Alan

I had also emailed Bookeen about a couple of issues and received a response today that confirms Justy's response (NOTE: statements in bracketed items are mine and inserted for clarification):

The second [bookmark] issue has also been identified. We have made some software modifications which enhance the system behaviour but without completely stabilizing the bookmark feature.

We will release in the next few weeks a software upgrade which fixes at least the first issue [this issue has to do with not being able to read books that have been checked out of a library]. We have no final release date yet, but we work to find a definitive solution to the bookmark issue and integrate it at the same time.

I'm very happy to hear that this is something bookeen is working on.

It seems to me to be completely random whether my bookmarks will work or not. I read on my way to and from work and will read anything from 25 to 50 minutes when commuting. Several others here have said they have these problems after reading for a long time, but I don't consider less than an hour a long read... Don't know about the rest of you though :).

What I find is not only that you don't know whether or not you will be able to place a bookmark. Even if everything seemingly went fine and I get the little bookmark icon in the top right corner it might not work when I power up the Cybook again. And the Cybooks ability to remember where I was last time is even less reliable than the bookmarks, but after reading this I'll try to go back to library next time before I put it down. I never actually turn my Cybook off except when I want to retrieve the SD card, I usually just let the auto power-off function do it for me. Maybe I should start turning it off? Any ideas anyone?

If you are reading a book from the SD card and bookmarks stops working try to remove the SD card and put it in again to see if bookmarks starts working again. If it is the case that the SD card gets remounted read only then doing this will mount the card rw again.

I've turned off the auto-power off - but I still lose bookmarks. I try to avoid turning off the CyBook at all when I'm mid-book, since any little disruption could result in loss of bookmark.
(Even adding books, charging, or wandering around the library can cause amnesia on my unit :( )
I'm hoping the next firmware upgrade will enable me to see what 'page' I'm on - that would at least make recovery easier.

I have no idea if I'm on to something but I haven't had any problems with bookmarks for almost a week. What I do is to go to the bookmark menu and wait at least 2 seconds after the bookmark menu has loaded before I press the enter button to set/remove a bookmark. Since than I had no problems. Maybe it is a big coincidence, but worth to try by others.

I sure wish I knew what it is that I'm doing (or not doing) which makes bookmarks work perfectly for me, so I could pass it on to you folks who are having such problems.

I still recommend that people having these problems run scandisk, chkdsk or fsck on the file systems to see if they are corrupt or not. I would do it myself directly if I had the problem. If the file systems are corrupt we the now what causes the problem and how to solve it.

I've had issues with the bookmark feature, although not lately because I really have not been using the option much. But I took your suggestion and ran scandisk and chkdsk on my SD card and found no errors. My SD card was brand new when I started using it so I didn't really expect to find errors, but I may reformat it later on to see if that makes a difference.

I ditched the (apparently perfectly fine) SD card that came with the Cybook and replaced it with a 2GB Transcend SD card. Power consumption dropped drastically. Access speeds and overall responsiveness both made huge leaps of improvement - and, oddly enough, bookmarks started to work and the Cybook faithfully remembered where I last stopped reading, even if I forgot to go back to the library screen before powering down. It continues to remember my last reading location for books even weeks after I last looked at them.

Thinking back, however, the bookmark/last read improvement also coincides more-or-less with my decision to stop connecting the Cybook and using Mobipocket to transfer the files. I now power down the Cybook, remove the SD card, put it in my laptop's card reader, transfer files via drag-&-drop, unmount the SD card, replace it in the Cybook, then power up again. What really resolved the problem? It's hard to say without some experimenting and I really don't feel like investing the necessary time and effort to figure it out. As long as it works properly now, I'm really not too terribly interested in figuring out exactly why.

Twice today, when I reopened the book I'm reading, the Cybook put me back 3-5 pages from where I left. The book is not on SD, is on internal memory, and I had to let the unit auto power off both times as I was interrupted on lunch and break. That's about the extent of information I'm able to offer, but perhaps wiser minds may draw conclusions from my meager information.

I also ditched the SD card that came with the CyBook and instead am now using a different brand (although it's only 512MB.. but that should be plenty for now). For the first time since I got the CyBook (a few months back!), bookmarking now works properly. I also noticed, like dcalder, that browsing a book now seems MUCH faster.

Here's some things I did that might help others:

1. Obviously, try a different SD card if you have one. Most cameras come with one nowadays, so you could try that.

2. Check what file system the card is formatted as. I noticed that both cards were formatted as FAT16, and no dice -- The card that I have in the cybook (which is working) is formatted as FAT32. Maybe..

3. Try manually syncing.. i.e. don't use the mobipocket reader. Just go to Windows Explorer, and copy your eBook files to the drive in which the SD card is mounted (preferably after a format to make sure nothing is left over). Also, you might want to try not copying the *.MBP files. Perhaps the cybook cannot overwrite or append to them (and they have their attributes set to hidden, perhaps that has something to do it as well).

Too bad I seem to have screwed up the SD card that came with the cybook )(it became unreadable by every OS and application known to man, it appears). Oh well, plenty of time to fiddle around with it in the weekend ;-)

You know, I've haven't synced any books to my Cybook lately and I haven't been having the problems with the bookmarks that I had been having before. I am now copying my books directly to my SD card and not having so many problems. I wonder if syncing creates some kind of compatibility issue.......

My SD card (that came with the Cybook) died. The Cybook suddenly didn't recognize it and the computer told me the card had to be reformatted, but wasn't able to do so.

I started using another SD card that I had lying around and suddenly all my bookmark problems disappeared. :) Now bookmarks work perfectly and the Cybook always remembers where I left off. I'm crossing my fingers that everything will work fine from now on. But I will bring a backup SD card with books on when I go on holiday next month.

I also replaced the SD card which came with my CyBook. I charged the CyBook while it was on and then unhooked the CyBook. The bookmarks still worked. I turned the CyBook off and later on again. Bookmarks still work.
Apart from sychnonising the CyBook with Mobipocket I tried everything which could cause the bookmark problem. No more problems so far.
At the moment it seams to me that the SD Card from Bookeen caused most of the problems.

That's the card I'm using and it works perfectly for me :). What card did you get with your Gen3? Mine's a 2GB "EMTEC" card.

I get bookmark issues, but don't use a Bookeen supplied SD card.

So far, my bookmark issues have been with DRM-stripped and converted LIT texts - so I'm wondering if the resulting file might be problemmatic (altho bookmarks issues are intermittent).

Are you syncing files to the SD card (while it is installed in your Cybook) or are you copying these files directly to the SD card (through a USB card reader that is plugged into your computer)? When I stopped syncing books to my SD card (that was inserted in the Cybook), I stopped having bookmarking problems.

I only transfer files to the SD card when it is in the reader; so that could be causing my issues :chinscratch:.
I don't have a separate USB card reader to test it tho.

OK, as I understand this thread, most people seem to believe that transferring data to the SD card while it is NOT mounted in the Gen3 is "safer" than doing it while the SD card is mounted in the Gen3. In addition, most people seem to believe that using standard copy commands works better than using Mobipocket Reader to transfer books.

My question is about combining (or rather, separating) them. If I take the SD Card out and put it in the reader attached to my computer (I bought a floppy drive that had card readers built it), but then use mobipocket reader to move files to the SD card, am I likely to see the bookmark bug?

Just got my cybook, and I'm still deciding what my habits should be, especially for managing the library on computer and moving files around. The library functions are enough of a pain that I don't want to keep large numbers of books on the gen3 until I'm ready to read them.

Roger

I still think that most problems are caused by people not "ejecting" the card (or both cards) before removing the cable. I assume that the sensitivity for this behaviour might be different when the card is mounted throught the Cybook or when it is mounted through a card reader.

I would do what is most convenient and never remove the cable or card before doing safely remove hardware.

I transfer all my books to the SD card using Windows Explorer. I don't transfer with Mobi Reader. I always use the "Safely Remove Hardware" tool before unplugging the USB cable. I have zero problems with bookmarks or any type of file corruption.

That's the card I'm using and it works perfectly for me :). What card did you get with your Gen3? Mine's a 2GB "EMTEC" card.

I did get an "ELITE PRO" 2GB Card.
ProfJulie made a good point. When I switched my SD Card I put my old card into the reader of my notebook, copied the content to my notebook, then copied it back to the new card, also using the reader in my notebook.
Since then the bookmark bug didn't occur anymore. But I have neither used the synchonise feature of the mobipocket reader, nor did I copy anything to the SD Card while it was in my CyBook

May I just check with you HarryT , do you remove the SD card from the Cybook before transferring books .

I've just started getting problems ; losing bookmarks , refusal to add bookmarks and for most books refusing to remember last page read ......
I do as you seem to do , I : -
copy direct to sd card from windows ( I've only got my dictionary on the cybook itself )
religiously use safely remove hardware ( as I would with my camera )

APART from that it's a brilliant device ....... :bookworm:

I do not remove the SD card from the Cybook and have never had any problem. But I am using Linux so the situation is not exactly similar.

I had some problems with the Bookeen supplied 2 GB card so I switched to a 1GB card I already had. Had one time where the bookmarks & my place where I was reading that got lost. I had been syncing using Mobipocket reader. Since then I have switched to ProfJulie's method and have had no problems.

Another reason I switched was that there seemed to be no flexibility in the syncing method. It was all or none. Also it is easier to delete files from the card this way (since we still haven't received the April 2008 update that hopefully will enable the "Delete" button on the Cybook.):book2:

I am not synching .

But the bookmark ' problem ' changes from day to day , one day the marks aren't there but the next time I read the book they are !
Or they can disappear mid-read ...

Strange ....

:chinscratch:

A wee test on mine suggests that if I change the font style/size or embolden whilst in a reading session , that's when I get bookmarking problems . Turning the Cybook off appears to reset them , though this is of little use if I've read pages on from the last bookmark that I was allowed to save .

Since I've started reading more than 1 book at a time , I no longer enjoy the privilege of the Cybook to remember the last page read .......

May I just check with you HarryT , do you remove the SD card from the Cybook before transferring books .


No, I just copy them directly to the SD card via the drive which mounts on Windows Explorer.

It might be worth trying a different card, Geoff.

No, I just copy them directly to the SD card via the drive which mounts on Windows Explorer.

Well , I now give in trying to understand the inconsistencies of the bookmarks - they were there yesterday and , without connecting my Cybook to my PC , they are gone today .
And I can't remember the last time the " last " page read worked ..........

I really would suggest that you try using a different card, Geoff. I have zero problems with mine - either bookmarks or remembering the current location in a book.

Or try to read the book from the internal memory and see if that works.

Have you been setting the bookmark just before powering off the Cybook?

When I was having bookmark problems I was manually setting a bookmark, waiting for the bookmark to appear on the screen and then powering off. My theory is that although the bookmark appeared on the screen the system was still writing to the ".MBP" file and this process was interrupted by the power down process which kicks off another bookmark write to the same file and sometime corrupts it.

I stopped manually setting the bookmark and just trusted the auto bookmark and haven't had a problem in the last 3 months. I do still manually set bookmarks but not just before power off.

You can just delete the ".MBP" file and it will recreate it but you've lost any bookmarks. My experience is that once the ".MBP" file is corrupt you get bizarre things happening. Fonts changed, justification changed and bookmarks showed up and disappeared depending on where you were in the book.

My problems with bookmarking not working, not remembering the last page, and dictionary lookup hanging the Cybook all disappear when I switched over from a 2 gig SD (the original 2 gig SD from Bookeen was DOA) to a 256 mb SD card that I had from my old digital camera. I also always (i.e. most of the time) manually set the bookmark and return to library before I turn off my Cybook. I just drag and drop, and delete the ebook files via the USB cable using Windows. I hate to remove the SD card from the slot, not wanting to wear and tear the SD slot. In conclusion, I found changing over to a SD card that Cybook works well with solved all those problems I was having. This works well for me so far (keeping my fingers crossed).

Thanks for all the suggestions -
I'll finish my present book and then change the 2Gb card - which is the one that Bookeen included in the package .
