Since my last post there have been further developments
I have Windows XP SP2, and have updated it. I don't use a hub.
Up until last night I had problems with my computer not seeing the Cybook or it's card, and with the computer's mobipocket reader locking up. Last night I took the card out, and tried again. Everything worked well, including having the reader show up as drive K on the My computer window. And I was able to use the computer's mobipocket reader to read the Cybook. All the books I had on the computer had transferred into the Cybook.
This morning I tried again with the memory card installed - name side facing the back, the cutaway corner to the right when I'm facing the Cybook. And I had attached the Cybook while it was turned off and then turned it on.
For reasons I entirely do not understand the computer eventually recognised both the Cybook as drive K and the card as drive G, and I was able to use the computer's mobipocket reader without problem.
All the ebook files are on the Cybook. When I opened the card as drive G I saw the folders, but when I tried to open the folders each one gave a message that the files were corrupted.
Eventually either Windows or mobipocket advised me to run scandisk. I did so, and when I opened drive G again there were no folders to be seen.
Does this mean that the Cybook is defective? I don't really care whether it was defective when it came or whether I broke it, as long as I can get another one. But if I do get another one somewhere other than Bookeen is it simply a matter of me setting up the folders? How would I get the system files over to the card for example?
Finally, is there anything like a Cybook and Mobipocket Reader for Dummies anywhere so I can read all this up at my leisure?
