The standard limit is 512 entries in the root, so if you got 682+, then whatever you were using to get that was a nonstandard FAT filesystem. You should also note that 512 entries is for the old 8.3 file naming convention, so if you use long filenames you will get much less than 512 files and folders in the root.
Maybe this Wikipedia link can explain what is going on to your satisfaction?

Thank you for explaining it! My image files conform to the old 8.3 file naming convention. The downloaded or created e-book files do not. Now it makes sense.
