Traveling on long overseas flights I find the less paraphenalia the better. So if the problem isn't too bad with MP-3's I'll probably at least try it.

Anything special I need to know about how to structure the files nad folders on an SD card for this?

Change the music, reset the ebook. You can't gracefully change your music selections without exiting the ebook. It's not a "killer" but it's not to my taste. That and, for the cost of an MP3 player vs. the quality of a Cybook, I'd rather carry the extra few ounces and have them both. But that's just me.

Of course, these "issues" may have cleared up in the 512MB version - I haven't even tried MP3s for so danged long.

As for the SD card, just insert a formatted (FAT32) one into the Cybook and it will do the rest.
