I have a question for other Jetbook owners:

Do you load new books through the USB to the card installed in your JETBOOK
or do you put the SD card in a reader and write to it there ?

If you load the SD card in the reader do you have a problem getting the Jetbook to open books on the SD card ?

I thought there was a problem with my Jetbook so I took three different cards with me back to the store. The clerks let me play with two different demo models and when I put a new card in the Jetbook, I would get the message loading SD card. But if I try opening a book on the SD card before I have opened one in the Jetbook memory they just hang and the hourglass never goes away. The only way to get out of the loop is to remove the SD card or reset the Jetbook.

If I open a book in the Jetbook memory and then close it, I can then open a book on the SD card with no problem.

I have seen this problem before with Linux OS's and this just may be an OS error that is in the underlying Linux OS of the Jetbook. I seem to remember this with older versions of Ubuntu.
