Connect the device to your computer and run a "Check disk for errors" on the drive for the SDcard, tick Fix errors (DO Not have Calibre or another book manager running when you do this, the device will be busy and want to schedule)

I used the drive "Properties" to label my SD Card and the device Storage to make it easy to spot (PEz and Books1) in file browsers
After having pulled my SD card too soon one time I always go through this procedure: When the computer tells me the "writing" is finished, I go to another simple application, like my calendar, make a simple change, like a space in an item, then "save". This clears the buffer from the SD card. Then I pull my SD card from my slot.

About 99% of the time, I just transfer my books onto my SD card by moving the SD card, not hooking up the PP to my computer. Only when I want to put something on my internal memory do I hook up the PP.

Yes, I have all my SD cards labeled as to what they are. It never dawned on my to mention this, also. But it definitely helps in the directory listing when my ebook SD card is labeled.
