Hi Zero9,

I never noticed this Thumbnail directory before you mentionned it.

It's funny, because the PRS-505 does not display thumbnails of the books stored in its memory, now does it ?

An educated guess would be that they are useless, but when looking a bit deeper, I found out that they are referenced by XML metadata files (e.g. e:\Digital Editions\manifest.xml)...

You can still make a backup, try and delete them, and tell us if you crashed your Reader ...

Cheers,
David.
