Is there a proper or improper way to remove an SD card from an Aura HD? I had one in mine for the first time, loaded a bunch of books on it. Then I needed the card so I took it out. I didn't do anything special. Just removed it.

Today I got 2 new cards and they are causing my device to freeze and not respond. Both the cards look fine on my PC and I formatted them. But put them in the Aura HD, and I have problems. These are SanDisk class 4 cards. I've restarted the device. With a card in, it stalls during the restart. Take the card out and it works fine. With the card in, the computer is not even seeing it.

Could this be due to my removing the other card, or could the card slot be damaged? I find it hard to believe that both of these new cards could be causing problems.

Trying another hard reset with a card in now.....and it's frozen again on the dots screen.

Tried a 3rd card I had on hand. Same results. So I guess my card slot is the problem. Oh well.
