As long as the device gets formatted to a VFAT filesystem, then it will probably work fine because VFAT support under Linux is pretty good. However, support for NTFS isn't nearly as good, and if someone chooses that for the filesystem type while formatting via Windows, I could see the sorts of problems occurring that the original poster had.
So, although you _can_ get the formatting right using Windows, you can also easily get it wrong if you don't know what you're doing. The safe advice to a stranger would be to do the formatting via the ereader's OS.
