Hi all,
I have a short story about my challenge with the Sony Reader. First of all I must say, that I love the machine, and since I know now what to take care, we will live better together. I must also metion, that I plugged a 1 G SD card into the Reader, and I put all my stuff on the card.
So: I convert all my e-books to RTF, since I found this was the easiest method, what will make the best readeable files on the device. During my converts (what I did with MS Word 2003/2007, and now with WordPad) when 10-12 file is ready, I upload them in one shoot. I realised, that at some cases the Status just doesn't move on. It uploaded some file, but stopped in the middle. So I hit Cancel, and I checked the file.
It came out, that I can not upload RTF files with images in them
.
Ok, never mind, I removed the pics, and try to upload again. Since I was not aware, that I had several files with pics, this Cancel story happened several time.
At the end the complete filesystem on the machine was corrupted. For books, what I already readed on the machine, and contained several hondred pages it showed, that they have only one page (!), and when I wanted to open it, it said: Invalid page. Nice.
I made a hardware reset, than several files come back, but not all. I removed the SD card, and plugged into my laptop, and I saw a nice cache.xml file, where some of my trasferred files were signed as corrupted (!).
What I can not understand is why the Connect Reader did not signaled, that something is wrong? And if I hit the Cancel, why f..cks it up the file system?
I hope Sony reads these threads, and learns what to debug in their software....
BTW: does anyone else have the same RTF+Pictures problem?

Peter
