I have to reinforce the problems that watr is having with his SD card. The last stable software release that allowed me to use an SD card was 1.9.10. Since then, every release has had issues, and the latest release is the worst one of all. Not only can I not read a book that is loaded on the SD card, I can't even have the card inserted.
If I insert the SD card, the home screen display changes completely, and shows books from both main memory and the card. If I start browsing the Library list, part way through, the Touch seems to (softly) eject the card, and the display now shows only the books loaded into man memory. However, after a few seconds, the list shows all books once again. If I can actually manage to start reading a book from the SD card, it usually reverts to the home screen, or totally hangs the Touch, after one or two page turns. I have even seen really strange behaviour, such as page overlays such that parts of two pages are visible simultaneously.
In short, with 1.9.16, and an SD card inserted, the KT is unusable. This is a serious bug, and needs to be fixed ASAP.
I use a Patriot Class 10 16GB SDHC card that I bought specifically for the KT. Since the KT is advertised as being capable of using up to a 32GB card, I see no reason why a 16GB card shouldn't just work. I have reset my KT so many times I have lost count, I have had to move most of my library to main memory, and I can't insert the SD card in order to have anything approaching stable operation.
What I see happening here is similar to the Microsoft Office experience - with every release, new features are added, but the old bugs aren't fixed. In the case of the KT, we see (supposedly) faster page turns, better font rendering, new widgets, and so on. But... we still can't use an SD card, yet this was supposed to have been fixed at least a half-dozen releases ago. Is there any chance of a solution in sight, or are we just going to get a bunch of "wonderful" new features in the next release?
