I did think of that and changed the switches on both brands of SD from top to bottom. The laptop said each disk was unformatted, but when I agreed to format it, the next pop-up said each disk was write protected.
Bookeen has promptly replied to my e-mail of yesterday:
"Dear Customer,
Please try to:
- Format the SD card in FAT32 from a computer with an SD slot (the Cybook does not yet propose to format the card).
- Copy some files (for instance, TXT files under the “/eBooks” folder) to the card.
- Insert the card into the Cybook. You should get an SD icon in the bottom right corner of the “Library”.
- Open the newly copied files to check that the card is correctly recognized by the Cybook.
- Plug the Cybook via USB."
Unfortunately neither of my computers has a direct SD slot and my Sony Multi-Card Reader/Writer MR-W62E will not recognize the SD cards. I'll check if any of my friends have a direct SD slot.
Yesterday
I had e-mailed SONY about the Multi-Card Reader/Writer not recognizing the SD cards
and I just received an e-mail response from Microsoft Online Customer Service with links that informed me that E-Mail Suport Cost: $99.00 US per support request and Phone Support Cost:$259.00. Is that weird? I never expected Microsoft respond to a request I made of Sony?
At least I was able to load books directly on to my CyBook! My husband & I are leaving for a trip to Arizona, so I will not be able to work on this until I get back next week. I will just enjoy my Cybook while traveling. Thank you everyone for the suggestions!
