Thanks for checking on that. I think it was 15d-b that created the empty folders. Now what mystifies me is why the internal memory does not use FAT32 like we use on the SD cards. Even though the two folders on the internal memory are empty, I think that is where certain user data like place holders, recently read books etc are stored (perhaps in hidden files?) One time when I had a buildup of recently read documents that I could not get rid of, even after deleting the files and resetting all recently read books, the only way I was able to fix it was by reformatting the reader memory.

If the reader uses the internal memory to track user data or other management functions, it would seem that there would be an incompatibility (bottleneck) between the SD card with FAT32 and the reader memory with FAT16.
