A Bit More News
I found a 2GB SD card, which I inserted into the device at the bottom, and I then copied some more books (this time in HTML format) into a new folder there, along with some music in the OGG format and a big video file in AVI format.
The Delstar recognized the new books folders after I detached it from the USB cable, and now when I go into the 'books' tab, I have a choice of flash or SDCard. I can navigate the folder on my SDCard, and open up the HTML files. Unfortunately, they still display without any formatting, and with ALL functionality (for example, links) disabled.
On a more positive note, the music player recognized the OGG file without any problem (even though OGG wasn't listed as one of the formats). If I go into the 'music' folder, I can get to the music (either preloaded on the Delstar, or the track I just moved to the SD card) via the "DirList" tab. Note that no music shows up in the "All Music" tab, or under any of the sorted choices ("Artist", "Album", etc.), even after I tried running the "MediaLib Update" option.
I also was able to play the .AVI file, though there's no rhyme or reason to how the keys are mapped; the video player has the 'zoom' button mapped to play/pause, for example, and I can't even remember where I finally found the volume controls (maybe right/left arrow? Or up/down arrow?). Note that the AVI file automatically played back in landscape mode, which was the right choice (good decision, software! <pat> <pat>). Of course, there is no "video" menu choice on the main Delstar menu, so you have to get to the AVI file via the Explorer.
