Bookmarks attack...

And I thought I was so smart... That by following all the tips from the gurus I would be immune to those little problems...

I was wrong, a lesson in humility...

During the day I decided to take a little break and to read a little bit. The cybook suddenly did not remember where I was in the book I was reading... Being smart I decided to create a bookmark. It did not work...

Let's be scientific about this I thought...


1) All my books are on the SD Card, except for the demo books. I tried to create and use bookmarks on the demo books. they were working fine. So I have established that the bookmarks on the SD card do not work and on the Cybook itself they work.

2) The only thing I had done differently is that I used the Auto power off feature. So I just removed the SD card, reformatted it on a reader on a PC. Then I copied and pasted my books on the newly formatted SD card and restarted the whole thing. The bookmarks are now working fine.

3) Now I am letting the Cybook shut itself with the Auto power-off to see if I can duplicate what happened before and to see if my theory is valid...

4) So much for that, the bookmarks still work...


One thing that I saw before I reformatted my SD card is that on the card there was all kind of files with weird characters as name and they all had a size of 0kb.

If it does it again, I will buy another SD card and try it instead of the one supplied by Bookeen.

Any thoughts ????
