I'm sure there's nothing wrong with your suggestion about powering down. That shouldn't affect a device that's working right.
My SD card is apparently slag, as I can't read it on my laptop, either. So now my question is whether the Reader somehow slagged it on startup, or it self-immolated all on its own. It's a cheap MicroCenter store brand card, so I suppose it could be the latter.
My books are safe; they're all in Calibre and/or the Sony Library. But I'm a little hazy on how the onboard database works, so I'm not sure whether I should suspect corruption and wipe it clean, or just muddle on ahead and either retag the books right on the device, or delete books and recopy from Calibre. (That latter would probably be faster, actually.)
Lady Blue, thanks, some of what you said is true of the 700, also (though my collection was only around 400 books, so things weren't
that slow--plus the 700's faster processor probably reduces the lag). But I had previously been through a couple of instances when I seemed to have a brick, and it turned out I just needed to be patient. So I didn't draw any conclusions, until it finished its recovery and--what the frak
--my books were missing.
I've reset in the past, and don't recall it affecting the collections on the 700, so that may be one difference between the 50x and the 700.
I guess I'll just stick with the main memory until Woot comes up with a deal on SD cards. That'll limit me to only a couple hundred books on my "to read" pile, but I guess maybe that could be considered enough.
