I just got a JBL for hubby and was trying to download books to an SD card. After the first book, my computer would no longer recognize the card. I tried to use Calibre and although it showed my reader and SD card one time, after that it "could not communicate with the device". Grrr. After several tries, I was about ready to send the jbl back. I thought "if it is this hard just to get a book on it, it is not worth the cheaper price". As a last resort, I decided to try to download the books the same way I do on my Kindle1. I opened up the book in Stanza, exported it in Open eBook format (which turned out to be epub), then go to the ebook file in my documents, and connect my jbl. Two drives jump up; one is the reader and the other the SD card. I right click the book I want and "send to" the SD card. It puts it on there in about 15 seconds. Right now I don't think I will go back to using Calibre. Stanza is sooo much easier.
