Of course, what you say assumes you have the same books, or same type of books, on all three devices. I can easily picture someone only putting epubs on a Mini but putting PDF's and comics (CBR/CBZ format) on the Aura. Because of the typical sizes of the formats and how they are handled by the firmware, a lot of epubs will produce a much bigger database than the same number PDF's. Or the same MB's worth of comics.

The thing for me is that the details are important. The details help me or someone else who is trying to solve a problem for you or someone else to work out what is happening or to be able to reproduce it. It's hard to know exactly what little detail will trigger the answer. As far as I'm concerned, you can't give me to many details for a problem. If there is a reason you can't, or don't want to answer a question, then say that. That's much better than ignoring the question.



i didn't ignore the question you asked me intentionally, but please accept my apologies for not answering, to be honest i was concentrating more on explaining what i thought was causing the problem, which you have so kindly confirmed for me, is that leaving less than 110MB of free space is not a wise thing to do for the reasons you explained above.


i only read epub and kepub, and i completely agree the more information someone gives you the easier it will be for you to hopefully find a solution, at the risk of repeating myself, although it never stops me anyway thanks again


best wishes koboy
