Thanks everyone,

I ordered a Cybook from BooksOnBoard in Austin, Texas last night. They’ll send it to my sister in East Texas and she’ll meet me in Philly in about a week and a half.

I checked all the SD cards I use with my camera and all were FAT, not FAT32. They also had some default subdirectory folders that my camera creates when you insert a new card and turn it on. I reformatted one to FAT32 and tried it in the camera. It worked fine. The camera did not try to reformat it but did recreate the subfolders. So I have now reformatted all my SD cards to FAT32. I have set up folders on my PC with the folder names that were specified as required by the Cybook in another thread and am filling them with .prc book files, .mp3 music files, and jpg picture files. When finished, I'll transfer the full folders to an SD card.

So I should be good to go as soon as I get the Cybook and get it charged.
