I formatted it first on the Mac - only one option for FAT.
Then on a PC - FAT32. Always through the Kobo. Should i format it through my BB? Last edited by Big Mack; 10-07-2012 at 08:17 PM. |

Never do do it through the Kobo - that may be the issue. I'd try using the BB to format, then pop it back into the Kobo.

I formatted in the BB. I received a couple of errors at first (in Calibre), but after that i've been able to use it. However, i have been getting my spontaneous reboot issue again. I'm visiting in-laws tonight - i'll see if they have an SD reader on their laptops (my MBP is a 2008-09, so has no SD drive).

I formated my SD card using an external card reader, tried all the shelves stuff automatic formating in Calibre and send my books back ton my card via calibre. Now, I'll have to read a bit to know if the bug is fixed or not. I'll let you know

Basically, it may read things okay, but won't be fully functional. If I want to do anything complex to a card, I use a good reader or USB adapter which fully supports the specs of the memory card. |

I think the bug is a) not related to the Glo but to the 2.1.4 firmware and therefore b) software related and has nothing to do with the formatting of the SD card.
I think so since the same happens on Kobo Touch with 2.1.4, and exactly the same SD card worked fine with all former firmwares for the KT. |

I was able to format the card on an in-law's laptop. Everything works fine now.
I will admit that the issue was all my own doing - it was working fine before but i thought i'd format it through the KG (when i technically didn't have to). Guess Kindle doesn't have this problem as they do not allow expansion via SD cards... |

For the testing I used two KTs and copied 100 books to the SD card. What I can now say is that formatting the card (using the SD Card Association formatter and Windows 7 formatter) in a microSD=>SD adapter, a Lexar USB microSD reader and in the KTs had no effect on the restart issue. Doing a factory reset and going through the re-upload of the firmware has no effect on the restart issue either when inserting an SD card with the books already loaded or copying the books after the reset. Copying the files on the PC/SD reader and then inserting the card has the same results as copying the files to the SD card when it was inserted in the KT. Copying from the command line, GUI or using Calibre had no effect. Copying the books in small batches or one large batch had no effect. Since my sister and family are heading back home, I left her KT on 2.1.4 and she will not use her SD card until a fix is out. I reverted mine back to 2.1.1 and will live with it's various failings until a fix is out since I need more than the 1.2Gb available on the internal storage. The sad part is that this Thanksgiving weekend playing with multiple KTs was actually fun for me. I watched some sports (Go, Lions!) but avoided most of the political discussion which my family tends to love -- political arguments should be reserved for cold winter days when they keep the blood warm.

Hi David - that is interesting - i haven't even thought about trying it on my KT on 2.1.4. I figured it is the Glo, but its sounding like a 2.1.4 issue.
