Now that you have your JBL here are a few things you might consider.
It is a good idea to create a folder on one of your PC's hard drives to hold a back-up of
the JBL's internal memory. To do such a backup you will need to use the USB cable.
Your PC should see your JBL as an external storage device/drive letter and offer you the
option to open a folder on your desktop for it. You can then just Ctrl-A the contents of
that folder and copy them to the folder you created on your hard drive.
In addition to having a safe copy of all the supplied ebooks, you will have the Adobe
folder with "device.xml" file that identifies the JBL to the ADE software. This initial
backup gives you the option of returning your JBL to its initial condition at a later date.
As long as you have the USB cable connected and the JBL's internal memory appearing as
an external drive, it is a good time to format it as a FAT32 drive and run ChkDsk on it.
(An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.)
This is also a good time to go over the Books folder that you now have on your hard
drive as a backup of the JBL's Internal Memory. You may decide to do as some of us
have done and copy the supplied ebooks over to your SD card (or Master SD Card folder
on your hard drive for later copying or syncing to an SD Card) to keep all your books in
a common location. This will free up a lot of the Internal Memory.
If you want to expose your JBL to the ADE scam you would copy the Adobe folder back
to the clean JBL Internal Memory. In any case you need to have a folder named "Books"
and a folder named "Pictures" in your JBL's Internal Memory. They can be empty folders.
That should both provide you with some valuable experience with accessing the internal
storage memory of the JBL and leave you with a backup in case of later problems. Your
JBL's internal memory will also be operating with a more efficient storage system format
that will match that on your ebook SD cards. If you ran ChkDsk with both options
checked, your memory file structure should be in good condition, as well.
Luck;
