I have begun to use a SD memory card in My Sony Reader. I have used the Connect Reader program to load books onto the card. Almost all of my books are in the .rtf file format.

For some reason today Connect reader did not show the SD card among the left side of screen list of that includes Library, Reader, Collections,Drives on my XP Win PC, etc.

Afterwards I shut down Connect Reader and disconnected the Sony Reader. I removed the SD card from the Sony Reader while it was turned off and it was disconnected from my PC. I checked it. It was fine and hardly used much of the 1GB SD card. I then re-inserted the SD card into the reader. I turned the reader on...OK so far.

Now every time I select a book for viewing on the reader it spends some time "formatting" even when I change from S to Medium size, It again spends time formatting. Same with switch to Large size. It does it for every book listed THAT IS STORED ON THE SD CARD.( A little picture of a card is displayed to the right of each book listing.

I don't think it stopped and formatted when I first installed the SD card and used Connect Reader to copy books to the card.

It does not stop and format for books stork on the Reader's internal memory.

It would be nice if it did not stop to format for every book on the card is accessed or for which the size is changed. When DOES the Reader stop and format? Does it have some thing to do with removal and later re-insertion of the SD card?
