Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I'm not exactly sure which firmware version is was as I reformatted at 9:30pm the night before I was going on a 2,000KM drive, I never checked the firmware version. When it got to the point where it needed to be reformatted it wasn't responding AT ALL to anything I did, so checking the firmware version wasn't possible (nor did I think of it). It was the version that was available to Canadian users of the Touch at 9:30pm August 12th. That's all I know.

I did try adding about 50 books to the card after formatting it, again it (appeared) hung on powering up. I checked the light at the top of the reader during these processes, neither the blue nor green light would show. I couldn't get it to "see" the sd card after the first initial attempt to power on. When KT touch still responded to the computer I was able to access the card through the reader when it was attached to the computer, but after the KT stopped acknowledging being plugged it to the computer I couldn't access the card.

The last firmware version I was using took about a minute to power on with all my books on the card, slower than the previous firmware version I used.
