My educated guess (and personal experience) is that these reading devices just aren't ready to handle such a large library due to file structure limitations. If the problem disappears (read: improves) by lowering the book count, then I would say that's the problem on the slow loading. If that is, indeed, the problem then you might want to get creative with a set of SD cards and rearrange your books on them according to divisions of the alphabet, or genre type Don Last edited by Dr. Drib; 08-12-2009 at 05:47 AM. |

I think he means 186 pages on the main screen? I would suggest organizing the books by folder and sub-folder (and maybe sub-sub-folder even)

I use a 8GB SD Card for my jetBook since firmware v033c with no problem at all. I have something like 1,200 books now, all classified into folders and subfolders and it works faultlessly. All folders can be opened instantaneously when I access them. It takes about 3 seconds to update the whole card's contents after I disconnect my jetBook from my PC, or when I reinsert the SD card. I have a Sony PRS505 and it's a nightmare when I have more than 200 books, worse if I try to put them on the SD card. It takes forever to update its contents, and sometimes it just freezes when there are a lot of books. That, for me, is one essential factor why I prefer now my jetBook. I can literally put a whole library in it and access my books without any delay or problem.

I would love to have hundreds of books readily available and, as with your experience, that just isn't possible on the Sony 505. (I truly love the Sony, but it's not practical to put such a large library on it - unless one is a masochist.) Tonight, I'm going to load the 250-odd books from Fictionwise onto my jetBook. Thanks, Don |

I only used my backup card to see if I still had to reset if I used a different card. With no folders it would take me forever to find anything on that one, and have no desire to use it for the device. And yes, it was 186 screens of files. On the card I'm using for the Jetbook I am using folders for genres, and series. I still have 1.7 GB unused storage on a 2 GB card, and I intend to delete books as I read them. I have no desire to keep all my books on it.
