OK, I didn't see the suggestion for the SD-formatter anywhere.

EXT4 won't work as the device will only load FAT and FAT32. But, there are instructions in the developer forum to allow ext4 formatted cards to be loaded. I doubt it would change anything, but it is something you can try.

It's quite enigmatic, but surely no book problem.
I have to agree with you. I think the only way it could be considered a book problem is that reading the book from the SD card seems to cause the disconnection. I think it sounds like a physical problem. Maybe the contacts in the SD card slot are dirty or lose. Or a bad solder joint holding the slot to the board.
