For all those have problems with "flakey" and unreliable annotations, bookmarks, and collections.....

I have had some time this weekend to experiment... I have learned a lesson.

When using SD cards, you must NEVER assume that just because the "eBook Library software" can "see" an SD card, "format" it, and successfully "read" and "write" it, that the PRE-700 will be able to do the same !!!!!

In particular, I can immediately cause all manner of disaster by formatting my 16 gig SD card using the WinXP "default allocation size" !!!!

You will have to experiment..... but NEVER assume that the eBook Library and the PRS-700 like the same allocation size.

On my 16 gig SD I found that allocsize:4096 immediately improved things.

8192 is what I am using at the moment. It seems stable. I will report back here if I find somethig better than 8192.
