Hello all,
not planning to sell it (yet!

), but I simply decided that I don't want to deal with Calibre anymore. Mind you, it's a wonderful program and it does its job very well, but at least on OS X and on my aging iMac, it's way too slow. I realize that probably a big part of the problem is the poor quality Qt port for Mac, but the point is that I'm loathing every time I synchronize it, and I find myself only doing that when I have to connect the reader anyway, ie. when the battery is dead.
So, I though I'd just go with a microSD and put my files on there manually, quick and easy.

I'd like to clean up the unit, effectively restoring it to factory settings. I imagine I could format its internal memory as if it were a USB thumbdrive, and then reapply the latest firmware. However, is it safe to actually format it like that?

I suppose that I can backup the bunch of ADE-equipped files it came from directly from the Adobe Digital Edition application, but I haven't tried yet. I'll do it as soon as I post this.

Thanks!
