I once had some issues I could not resolve (recent readings that kept coming back after deletion for one), so I took a chance and reformatted the reader memory (FAT16), almost expecting to lose critical operational files. I then reinstalled the firmware and all was OK. It took the reader a few seconds to recreate the two top directories, Books and Pictures.

I left both of these directories empty and put all my books and pictures (mixed) on the SD card. The Jetbook still sorts them out so the books and pictures are still classified correctly in the main menu. My SD card is a Kingston 133x and the reader performs very well with all files on SD and none in reader memory- rapid page transitions etc. And with all your data on SD, you can use utilities to whip the reader in line without losing any books.
