Now I have had trouble with the SD card I popped into the Aura, several times it has told me on startup that it does not recognize the card and that I need to format it in FAT32. However if I only clicked that away everything worked as usual. But is it worth getting a faster San Disk which are apparently more compatible to the Aura HD? The card fyi is a Kingston 32G class 4.
The format message is something I see frequently when inserting the card. It seems to happen when I fumble a little inserting the card. But, as it does recognise the card, I just ignore it.

The second problem is using calibre transferrring books to Kobo. Whenever I try to transfer larger amount of books (mainy fanfic, hence many files) I run into the problem that sooner or later the transfer stops and it's stuck following some advice on these forums I closed calibre and that seemed to do the trick but how can I avoid that since there is always the risk of corrupting the dbase.
I don't do it very often, but I have transferred over 500 books in one session from calibre to my Glo. What does calibre do when this happens? Does it just stop, or is there an error message displayed?

However, the major problem I am having with the Aura and which is making me want to chuck it out the window is that frequently when I'm reading a book whenever i tap to turn the page, the damned device turns a page *back* another tap and another page is turned back. And sometimes it turns back pages without me doing anything! Auuurgh is there anyone here who has had a similar problem and how did they solve them?
What firmware are you using? This sounds like a common problem two or three versions ago. I'm not exactly sure when it was fixed, but I haven't heard of any problems in 3.12.0.

An another itty bitty irritation. Where are my bookmarks?!?! I bookmark a book so I can go back and read it much later but the only bookmark I can ever find is when I've just created it and it's in a tile on the home page soon to be gone, where?
Annotations are store in the database on the device. But, I don't think that is what you want to know. I think you actually want to know how to view them later. There are three ways:

- The current book tile on the home screen has the count of bookmarks, annotations and saved highlights. Pressing that displays the annotations list.
- Within the book, when the bottom menu bar is displayed, tap the three lines on the right end. This displays a menu with "Annotations" as an item.
- In the library list, find the book and long press on it. This displays a menu with "Annotations" as an item.

Is that what you want?
