I have tried several times without success. My delete button isn't working. Is this a fault with all Cybook devices or only with mine? If some kind person has the time would they give me a quickie lesson on how to use the SD Card.

Thanks,

The Delete button *WON'T* work until Bookeen adds that feature. You have to plug in the Cybook to the appropriate USB port on your computer (and it will most likely be one in the back of the computer), turn the Cybook ON (you can choose to turn it on and plug it into the computer instead, if that's how you prefer to do it) and look for the Cybook - and the SD card - in the file explorer that comes with Windows. (Right-click on the START button on the Windows taskbar and Explore should be the first, second or third option.) Once you find the Cybook, just open the /eBooks folder and delete the files from there.

You can also use Explore to drag ebooks into that folder instead of using Mobipocket Reader to do the transfer.

Remember to always 'safely remove hardware' before unplugging the Cybook. On Windows XP, that means looking for a tiny grey icon with a green arrow along the top, clicking on it, selecting the Cybook to shut down (On my WinXP that's drives N: (SD card) and O: (Cybook).) and waiting until it says I can remove the hardware.
