Red face Can't see new books in sd

Hi,

When you sideload ebooks to your T1, how do you get the reader app to see them?

I'm new with the T1 and I'm using dropsync to sync books to /extsd/Sony_Reader/media/books. The books get copied there, but the reader app can't see them. If I run the MediaScanner app, hit the Scan! button and wait until it finished, the books still don't appear in the reader app. If I connect the USB cable, enable the data transfer, unmount it in my pc and disconnect the cable, all books disappear and they don't come back until I reset the T1.

There's an ugly workaround: if I delete the database in the sdcard, then the reader app syncs and all books appear, but, of course, now they are all marked as new.

Any ideas? It seems to me like it should be very easy, but I can't figure out how to get this to work. How do you do it?

Thanks!
