I bought a Nook ST glow while I was in England last week. Love it. However, I had a problem with the SD card. I inserted it in the new Nook, plugged the device into my computer and dumped some of my books on the card using Calibre. It worked great for three days, at the end of the third day I put my Nook to sleep and the next day when I woke it up there was nothing on my Nook.

I took the SD card and put it in my old Nook ST - it also couldn't find the card. The old SD card that was in my old Nook worked fine in the new one as well. So it's obviously a problem with the new SD card. I couldn't ask the Nook to format it because the card wasn't 'found' on either Nook.

Now that I'm back home, I can try re-formatting the SD card on my lap top (I had a teeny tiny mini with me on vacation). Do I use FAT 32? If that doesn't work, then I guess I bought a dud card. *shrugs* It happens.

Anyone had this happen to them? Can a SD card suddenly stop working?
