Just formatted my 4GB SD card to FAT16... much quicker!

Thanx for the heads up!

more info on this:

I was finally able to get my reader to read "most" of my books, I say most because I'm not sure which files are not being read and it may have something to do with those files.

I think it's a question of file access, instead of dumping my entire collection onto the card, I dumped a little at a time. Of 4.5 gigs on the MS, I dumped like 2.6 gigs, allowed it to read and preprocess and then dumped the rest. I also did a full shutdown on the second read.

For those of you using rsync, rsync --size-only --stats -P -L -v -v -r --whole-file seems to work best for me. The --whole-file option prevents any rsync algorithm so it should keep file access to a minimum.

Also, the partition type on the MS is fat16, just as a test, although it is formatted fat32.

More as I get it.
