I am dumping a lot of new files and folders onto it during each session. Maybe too much to process? That said, I am enjoying it a lot and find that in certain lighting conditions I prefer the Jetbook screen to the Cybook. I will keep the Cybook safe at home and take the Jetbook when I'm out and about. It's more portable and it feels sturdier.


What you are experiencing is NOT normal.

What update version of the software do you have?

What is the brand/size is your SD card?

Did you go through the 2-step update process completely?

How much free space do you have left on the SD card? (You mention that you may be dumping too many files onto the card, so do you have another SD card that you can play with, as members here try to find the solution to the problem.)

I don't have the problems that you mention. All my various file formats open - and open very nicely, indeed - whether it be the Reader itself or files from my SD card.

I'm not certain why you're experiencing these problems, but your answers to my questions above will give a heads up for someone here to give you some helpful advice.

The jetBook, as you have discovered is really an elegant solution to reading, with its various file formats that it can accept. Don't give up.
