Hi, I'm new to this forum and to the Kobo Touch. I am running mine on the 1.9.16 firmware which is fantastic until you plug a sdhc card in. I have tried both a Sandisk class 4 and a PNY class 10, 8Gb cards, with multiple and single books loaded via Calibre. The cards appear to completely confuse the reader - books vanish from the library, the machine seizes-up, pages turn sporadically, touch screen is unresponsive, etc, etc. Reset the Kobo, try again, same problem. Remove card and reset loading exactly the same books only on the internal memory and it works like a dream again.

If anyone can give me some tips on how to correct this, or if, as I now suspect, this is a firmware problem can Kobo please tweak their firmware. I now know this is not a new problem. I love the reader but as such I would not recommend it.

Thanks.
