You have to format your cards with fat32

The very first time you use a new card do not do a fast format as this only formats the directory structure not the bits on the storage media.

Some cards you do not have to do this with as the manufacturer does the complete format for you. But it is a good practice to take up whenever you by new cards.

The camera manufacturers have figured this out and have learned to automatically do this always.

The jetbook is a linux device and they have not put the error checking in the unit to correct this problem. It will probably be in future versions.
