It could also be that you aren't holding the center button in correctly/long enough during the boot with the SD card inserted. Some users have reported that it helps to put the Cybook down on a table and then pressing down on the center button with a finger or pencil.

Notice that on Windows Vista and 7 you will need some third party utility as Seagate DiscWizard to format your SD card in FAT32. Also, make sure that you hold the center button. In my first attempt I found that I was holding also the right navigation button and it started as usual. Then I put the reader on a desk and with my index finger on the center key it worked fine
