Are there any issues with books on the sd card with 3.11.0 or 3.19 versions? Has anyone noticed any sd card issues with the latest firmware? With the latest firmware available for the touch (I'm going to test drive it for a while) I'm noticing lines from menu boxes not getting cleaned up when they close - probably why the lines appear in sketch.
I completely forgot about that, but as of about 4.6, there has been some issues with the Touch and extra blocks of black being drawn. It is inconsistent. It doesn't seem to affect all the Touches, and it doesn't happen all the time. But, it is there.

I can't think of any SD card issues with 3.19. About the only one that has happened in the last couple of years was a problem if the card didn't have a label. That only lasted one firmware version and was easily worked around.

As for the battery issue, I turned it on the other day and it was at 57%, as I kept it on while playing Sudoku the battery power rose all the way up to 69%. I think the batteries like to be fully charged? Or should I wait till it drains all the way down before doing a recharge on it.
They are Li-Ion batteries. There is no issue with partial charges. Just plug it in and charge and disconnect when you need to. But, It can be a good idea to do a couple of full discharge/recharge cycles occasionally to try and recalibrate the power meter.
