Last week, in the spirit of Read an E-Book Week, I downloaded, inter alia, the ePub version of Nate's L. Frank Baum Oz Omnibus, which consists 14 novels and one collection of short stories.

I put all 25 of the items I downloaded last week into one folder, and moved that folder to my 2 gig SanDisk SD card. All of the other downloads of that folder (that I have checked) work fine.

But last night I tried to open Nate's file, and got the Hourglass of Death.

I was able to turn the device off without any problem, but when I later turned it back on the Hourglass of Death resumed its activity. I then pressed the reset button on the back, and that made the problem go away.

Unlike the other Hourglass of Death problems cited in the thread of that name, I did not use multiple folders. Only the one.

Do you think that Nate's Oz Omnibus is just too big for the JBL to get its arms around?
