Not a problem since I'll use internal mem for my lib books and the card for my purchased books.
On another note what is the best way to remove the books that came with the JBL I have copied them to an sd card and would like the space back

The "device.xml" file is one that the update provides in a
".adobe-digital-editions" folder that it puts into the root of the internal
user's memory of the JBL. The Digital Editions folder is one that ADE
creates on an authorized device during the authorization process for the
device. There can only be one such setup for a device. Maybe only one
per a specific device.xml file. (If you are able to use the one device.xml
to create a device in both your JBL and an SD card in your JBL, that
would be interesting and would blow my understanding of how it is
working, apart.)
My understanding is that you would have to have ADE authorize either your
JBL as the device described in the device.xml file -or- an SD card. If ADE
does allow the creation of more than one device from the same device.xml
file, then you could make up to five devices, I would guess.
It could be that the device.xml file provides a valid description only for an
JBL running under the firmware provided in that update. (Or an SD card that
will be used in a JBL running under the firmware provided in that update.)
But there is something odd here. The point of making the SD card be what
ADE sees as your JBL is so that you can use the card in a reader on your PC.
You should not need to connect your JBL to your PC and interact with the
ADE software. You should not have your JBL itself authorized with ADE.
You should not have a Digital Editions folder in the JBL's internal memory.
On the other subject; once you have backed up your JBL's internal memory,
normally by using the USB cable to copy the entire contents to a folder on
one of your PC's hard drives, you can delete everything except the
emptied "Books" and "Pictures" folders. (Your PC can open a window in its
windows explorer of the JBL's internal memory, that it sees as an external
drive.)
