So Kobo is sending me a replacement unit... but I may have all the same problems IF XP isn't releasing the Kobo in a proper/timely fashion.
Yesterday I noticed that when I go in through My Computer and eject the Kobo, the designation changes from "Kobo Reader" to "External Hard Drive" or something like that. So then I still have to use the icon in the system tray to disconnect... and then it still freezes up on reboot.
Then I was thinking... maybe it's something to do with the SD card or its contents. So I removed the SD card... booted up... then dragged the current book I was reading (in its folder) from my computer into the digital editions folder of the Kobo. When I booted the Kobo up, it couldn't find my new ebook.
So the question is... when manually adding an ebook... should it go in a particular file on the Kobo... and should it remain within the file folder that Calibre set up (usually by author with the ebook and metadata info).
THAT's the folder I had dragged over... and yet Kobo couldn't find it.
I had thought of simply adding books one at a time as I was going to read them... and that way I could see if there was a corrupt file (assuming of course that the new Kobo will disconnect from my computer properly).... but if it can't find the book in the first place there is not much point in going that route. I might as well stick in the SD card and enjoy an extra reboot every time I charge up.
Sorry about the long winded post... I just want to make sure I do everything right this time around.
