Kartu,

Thanks for reply, slight misunderstanding... the number of books has been around 16K with a card usage of around 4GB... cluster size not relevant as have used several different cards of 8GB and 16GB. I think the number of files is probably irrelevant and the real limit is using the first 4GB of the card lets you see everything, go over that and everything written after 4GB is not visible in Files/Folders. When I put nearly 7GB on and first noticed the problem (thanks to Sealbeater's comments), I removed more than 3GB of files and still didn't get access to anything extra on the card, visibility failed at the same point but when I wiped all files and reinstalled keeping under 4GB data then everything worked perfectly on all cards.

It looks like the eReader system won't access over the first 4GB of data space in Files/Folders as this seems to have been Sealbeater's experience with a smaller number of (presumably) bigger files.
