Would you say that the reader FAT should also be FAT32 to match the file system on the SD card? You seem to be the most experienced member on this forum, so I would really like to know how your reader is set up.

***DO NOT MESS WITH THE JBL's INTERNAL MEMORY'S FORMAT***
The safest thing to do is to lock up your USB cord in a hard to find
location. (Once you have used it to download the books that came
preloaded in the JBL's internal user's memory and copied them to your
SD card.)
In fact what I have done is to also delete all the internal folders EXCEPT
the "Books" and "Pictures" folders. All the subfolders under those were
deleted as well. Leaving just the Root directory with an empty Books
folder and an empty Pictures folder, in the JBL's internal memory.
(I have added back just a few "special" pictures and documents to have
with the SD card out of the JBL.)
The SD card(s) used as JBL library SD cards have to include a "Books"
and a "Pictures" folder in their Root directory. I use the Books folder as
a catch all scratch folder, it has NO subfolders.
The rest of the SD card includes a number of theme folders for the
>8000 ebooks. Almost all of them have no subfolders.
Another thing that makes things easier is that I have a folder on my PC
the I maintain as an exact copy of my JBL library SD cards. I use the
free SyncToy to keep both my son's SD card and my own, matching the
additions and changes I make to the folder on my PC. This also makes
it easy to tweek the structure and file names easily on my powerful PC.
Then just sync the SD cards to have the changes applied.
Luck;
Ken
