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.
Now that you have convinced me that there may not be so much of a
danger to the stability of the internal memory, if we are careful, I also
wonder if FAT32 might be a good idea for the internal memory, as well.

This would be a good question to ask Jerry to pose to the technicians
and development staff at the Ectaco Forum. At least they should be
able to tell us if there is any known issue with FAT32 or some established
requirement that the internal memory remain FAT16.

Once I finish my current ebook, just started wouldn't you know, I will do
some checking into that and give FAT32 a try on the internal memory.
I want to see what might be related to that in the boot menu also.

Luck;
Ken
