Yes, I mistook the internal memory card with what I thought to be a card.
Therefore, the 1GB card which came along with the ereader is empty and I have stored all my ebooks in the internal memory.
What I do not understand is the way to insert the card. Does it stay completely inside the cybook or it comes out a bit? Because there's no way to make the cybook recognize it and the drive is always empty.

Two things.
1) ALWAYS format the SD card (using a card reader or a built-into-the-PC media drive - you know, the ones which read just about every card type made) to FAT32 before you attempt to use it in the Cybook.
2) Always make sure that you insert the card with the notched/tapered end going in first and oriented so the brass/gold contacts are visible when the display is facing you. If you insert it with the label side facing the front (display visible) panel, you're gonna end up with a broken Cybook.
3) Give it a bit of a 'push' - not TOO much - as you insert it so that the SD card sinks in a bit and then 'clicks' into place. The card should be almost flush with the top edge. Some say it sticks out a minor bit, others, such as myself, claim it rides just a bit below the top edge. IOW, if you don't push it down below the top edge, it won't 'click' into place.
Hope this helps.
