Is there a virus or something that appears as a book called "Fernando?" shown as on device "flash". I saw this book - opened it and the device crashed. Easy to reset, then I attached to my laptop and couldn't find the file. Did a virus-scan of the folders and SD card and didn't find anything. "Fernando" did not appear and everything works fine now.

Can I clean the screen with the same "wipes" that I use for my laptop and netbooks LCD? Answer probablyy is yes, but thought I'd ask.

I'll probably have a few more questions as I play with formating files, but that's all for now!
Other than more storage space, the SD card would have no advantage over the internal flash. Now some conjecture. I don't know the number of write cycles that the internal flash is rated for, so I guess it may be possible to exceed this by constantly copying to it. I would think that in real use, this is not an issue. The internal flash is probably faster and more energy efficient than the SD card. (Probably. I have no data.) I would use whichever is more convenient and not worry about it.

I don't know what to tell you about "Fernando". Perhaps it was a corrupt ebook file.

I believe the front of the screen is glass, so anything you can safely use to clean glass should be fine. I use regular window cleaner (without ammonia). Just make sure not to let any liquid run down inside the device. It is safer to spray the liquid onto the cloth first. On LCD screens with plastic fronts, you have to be more particular about what you clean them with.

Hey, why do you need to clean your screen anyway? It's not a touch screen, so it shouldn't be covered in fingerprints already And when you're not reading, your precious Jetbook should be safely tucked away in it's snug little case
