It is interesting that all three of us who have so far reported the issue are using Sandisk cards, but that may be just a coincidence, of course, since Sandisk are probably the largest manufacturer of such cards. I strongly suspect it's simply a case of the time taken for the card to initialise - it's not "ready" when the o/s first tries to access it. By the time the machine's booted again, the card has initialised, and subsequently works fine.

Try to delete following files:
/system/lastopen.txt /system/cache/covers.dat Maybe that will fix your problem Ulli |

No, it has nothing to do with whether or not there are any books on the card, or whether they've been opened - it's the simple presence of the card that makes the machine boot twice. As I said, it looks to me as though it's simply that these are slow cards, and the card has not had time to properly initialise by the time the firmware tries to access it.

By the way, when my device has the card inserted AND is connected to my computer in charging mode it boots normally.

I use a Panasonic 2GB, class 4 and a Sandisk 4 GB, class 2 card and I have not had such issues of double bootings.

Just for the record, I have just bought an Intenso 4 GB microSDHC card today, and have the same problem with rebooting on my PocketBook 360° (for which I've bought the card, I have no other device using microSD)... quite annoying imho.

It's interesting that, if you connect the USB cable to the PB before turning it on, it boots normally.

I haven't seen the issue with a 2gb SanDisk microSD and a 2gb Transcend microSD.

Hi,
I have the same double-boot problem (100 % reproducible) with a 4 GB SanDisk Card (microSD HC, class 2). (like the OP describes, boot ones, you see the menu with last-opened list missing last opened books from the card -> press any key -> 2nd boot -> last-opened list is now accurate) A firmware update to swupdate_15mar2010_360_us_ws_v15_1.zip did not change the behavior. In addition to that I observed other boot problems: while reading some large .chm-File on a next-page click suddenly the device appears to be rebooting (you see the boot-logo again) and then you are at the main menu again - if you reopen the file, the last viewed page position is lost ... This is not so easily reproducible - with this file I noticed it a few times. Once after reading 2 pages, ones after 10, after 50 etc. Reading like 100 pages of a pdf (from the card) or a complete epub (from the internal memory, prepackaged there) didn't trigger any such problems. |

Have you had any feedback as to whether this is likely to be fixed in the next firmware version? It's not a major problem, but it is a little annoying.

Camera owners report high # of failures of 8-16GB class 10 sdhc cards in cameras
Recently I have been investigating purchase of an 8 or 16 GB Class 6 or Class 10 SDHC card to use as cache for Windows 7 ReadyBoost. I noticed many comments/reviews from folks who experienced critical failures of these cards in their cameras. Failures were also reported for Class 6 cards.I estimated that about 1/4 to 1/3 of all the comments described major SDHC card failures. I recognize that self reported reviews/comments might skew the comments towards reported failures. I think most of those failures were associated with the less expensive cards. There were 16GB Class 10 SDHC cards selling for less than $50 USD from vendors whom I believe were USA-based. I guess that the same card problems would impact their use in some ebook readers.

Originaly the S3C2440 is not "HC/SD2.0" compliant, but since the SD is nearly purely software, it's possible to make it support for high capacity SD card, but the hardware does not support for highspeed cards. I had problem with SD card on such hardware but not that can make the firmware reboot without reason. I suspect a bug somewhere in the software, maybe triggered by the sandisk card, but they will not be the only one in that case. |
