Sony T1 internal memory vs SD card
Hi! After just 4 months I have the massive number of 826 books. Many of them I´ve read and many are yet to arrive. Since collections on the T1 have to be all in the same place (either internal or SD) I´m thinking of placing the largest collection in the SD and the smaller ones in the internal memory. I´m noticing some lag for art work to show when it´s on the SD. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!

I place the collections most frequently accessed on the internal memory and less frequently on the SD memory. I try to keep my collections less than 50 books.

I use my micro sdhc for everything but it's one of Samsung's Class 10 ones with their turbo feature their quite expensive as their waterproof, shockproof , magnet proof etc, basicly overkill for an ereader if I'm honest but I like them a lot.
I've no issues everything works well and is pretty instant same as the internal memory. |

I don't notice differences in speed, but sometimes when I connect the T1 to my Mac the SD card is not recognized by Calibre, making it impossible to send books to the card. I don't know if the issue is with Calibre or the Mac not mounting the card. I'm not sure how to force it to do so. When this happens, I send the next 5 books in my reading queue to internal memory and then move them to the card the next time I can access it. The T1 can always read the card.

I manage a T1 with Calibre and it's working just fine with Calibre 0.8.49.

I've noticed Calibre is slower at syncing since I turned on automatic management of metadata (under Preferences, Sending Books to Device).

Calibre can take absolutely ages if you have it set to refresh covers under the device interface plugins, I do this once in a while but I keep the option unticked most of the time, I've never had calibre fail to see my micro sd card on windows.
I'm using 0.8.49 myself I rarely update calibre in honesty I might just stay with this version if the newer ones are giving issues. |

Re: calibre not seeing the external SD card, I've also had this in the past. Calibre only waits so long when trying to decide whether an SD card is present. I raised it as a 'bug' at the time. Kovid's response was that the only thing he could do was to extend the 'looking' time which would slow down all users - not acceptable. Fair enough, I admit my SD card was rather cheap and nasty There were 2 workarounds for a slow SD card, at the time:
As an aside, I stopped using an SD card shortly after as everything seems quicker and more reliable without, particularly the PRST1. Then again, I only keep 20-30 books on the reader at any one time so it's not as if I've lost anything. |
