Dale,
I never have had an issue with the SM on the EBW 1150, though I'm just scare **itless when removing one!
On the REB 1100, the changing of SM cards while the unit was on would surely lead to firmware corruption i.e. "grid of death". While the REB 1100 and EBW 1150 are similar hardware, both using SM cards, the 1150 seems more forgiving when removing the SM card.
New users are cautioned to check the
IMP entry about this or just review this "cycle on-off" procedure:
Code:
IMPORTANT NOTICE ESPECIALLY FOR THE eBookwise-1150:
TURN OFF YOUR EBOOK DEVICE before you remove the memory card from your eBook reader/device.
Then for the 1150 it's recommended to cycle your reader 'on-off' without the memory card
i.e. TURN ON YOUR EBOOK DEVICE, then TURN OFF YOUR EBOOK DEVICE.
After copying to the memory card, ensure YOUR EBOOK DEVICE IS TURNED OFF,
then insert the memory card into your eBook reader.
Then TURN ON YOUR EBOOK DEVICE.
Never insert or remove memory cards when the eBook reading device is turned on.
Doing so may destroy the memory card and/or your eBook reading device!
