Been there, done that. I spent several minutes pushing in and out and jiggling it, all to no avail. There was a recurrence of the earlier problem that the Mobipocker reader hung as soon as I opened it.

So I bought a new SD Card, formatted it in the reader to FAT32, let Cybook set up the folders, and transferred some files to the ebooks folder on the SD Card with Windows Explorer. Everything seems to be working again for the moment.

I suspect however that the earlier suggestion that there might be an intermittent hardware fault with the mechanism which reads the card is correct. The Transfer Option in the latest version of the Mobipocket Reader says that there is no card detected.

I'd like of course to test the original card now that things are working again. But I seem to have lost the damn thing when I took it with me to buy the new one.

Regards, Alex
