Your quite welcome. Hope you like it when it arrives.

Just one other quick test I did today; I loaded a 4gig micro SD card with 1178 ebooks. Most of the books in thier author directories, some in the root, some I buried a couple directories down.

I plugged it in, while the unit was off, and when I turned it on it scanned the card. This took about 15 seconds to do, but it found all books in all directories and listed them in the eBook page.

Curious if it has a database, I turned it off, and restarted again. This time, it showed the SD card scan, and it only lasted a second. So it did create a DB somewhere...

Next I turned it off again, removed the card and restarted the unit. The books were still showing in the eBook listing page. This had me concerned... what if they never disappeared? But after another restart they were no longer listed.

One more test was to try it with only a few eBooks on the card, about 100. The scan took 3 to 5 seconds and it was ready to go again.

Next step is try try and figure out how to find out what kind of OS is on it. One blog mentions (from August or September) that the company had 2 Android devices coming out with Android on - The Next1 and Next2. This is the only site I have come across that has mentioned what OS may be on the Next1. So I'm still not convinced that is what is running on it. Will be reading through Slatedroid this week to try and learn about the tools required.
