the weird thing being all the books are showing on the home screen/working fine, and i don't have to take the card out and put it in again. the message won't go away until i either click on ok or use the x to close it at the top right of the pop up message.
I see that exact problem very occasionally. I just ignore it and wait.

I think it's a race condition under the covers. My guess is that the script that mounts the drive decides to run a filesystem check in the background and exits. Meanwhile, Nickel looks and finds the card not mounted and asks if you want to format it. Meanwhile, the filesystem check has finished and the card is mounted and everything works normally except for the stupid dialog.

Occasionally, it takes longer for it to finish, and the books don't show up. Rebooting always fixes it if I wait long enough first, but I suspect using NickelMenu to retrigger the import books would fix that.
