Hmm. I've been able to remove the card and still come back to the place I was in all of the books I have opened.
I dod find that I had to get at least up to the "books" menu when I remove the card or I'll end up with file corruption on the book I'm actually in. I also always switch the card with the the unit *on*. It comes out while the unit is on, and it gets inserted while the unit is on. That way the reader gets a chance to recognize the switch and handle it -- if I have added new books it can take a while to scan, but that's ok. |

I haven't seen these listed, but they are helpful to me:
- Holding down the "Size" button lets you switch between Landscape and Portrait mode without going through the menu. In Landscape mode all 3 fontsizes (S/M/L) are larger than in portrait mode for people who have a hard time reading the smaller sizes. (just a reminder really) - If you run down the battery completely, you won't be able to recharge it through the USB port since it can't establish a connection to the host PC. You'll have to dig out your AC charger. (I assume the dock has separate connectors, so it will be OK?) |

i tried removing the sd card while it was off a couple times, and each time the unit wouldn't turn on (had to reset). swapping while on seems like the way to go. Also, insert/remove the cards swiftly and without hesitation, or it can also crash from that.

Maybe we need a remote control so you can keep your hands under the covers on those cold winter nights.

I pop my Reader into a zip-loc sandwich bag and read right through lunch. No problem with greasy fries, sticky fingers, or pasta sauce.
Long's quart-size sandwich bags (7x8 inches) are recommended. Regards, Matt |

If you want a wrist strap or what ever you want to call it. And dont mind it saying Wii on it. At Gamestop they sell a strap plus Glove for the Wii joystick for 10 dollars.
If already posted just ignore this... |

[Edit] Yup, after reading through this group I did see a ref to a meta-tag editor for PDF's, but still quicker this way for those with the Pro edition. Last edited by Azayzel; 01-20-2007 at 12:02 PM. |

I really wish i could use the Reader without the cover, but it's almost like Sony found just the right type of brushed metal to make you never want to do that. Maybe there's some felt sticker I can put on?
As for renaming pdfs, PDFrasterFarian lets you do that while it's converting the pdf to be all pretty. |

Place a sheet of paper on the bottom of your reader and trace the outline of the reader, the round middle clip and the two little feet. Cut the paper and fit it to the reader. Put that paper over a sheet of felt and cut with an Xacto or a pair of scissors. You can also trace it on the paper backing side. Then apply to the back of the reader. Be careful because when you take off the protective paper it has a tendancy to fold and stick to itself or stretch out of shape. Try to lay it face side on a flat surface and drop the reader on it instead. A sheet of felt costs about $0.50. There is also a kind of rubber foam but I personally find it too thick. |

Hmmm mine is the opposite. I can only remove and reinsert the SD or MS card while the unit is OFF
Most of the time if I do this while its ON it gets upset with me. |

How exactly does it get upset with you?
