Right. I'm ok with the initial opening delay. It's annoying but worth it to not have to struggle with Sony's library. The time to send the files to the device is lengthy, which is the time-consuming part of the ordeal. However, I can watch a couple of movies while making sure my computer stays awake while doing this.

I have tried this in batches of 200-400 also, and still don't get all of the books transferred.

My assumption is that I'm doing something wrong. Others on here have large libraries and have transferred their files to their cards without an issue.

When I get home, I will try using windows explorer to load the Calibre onto my card, then use Calibre to try and send to device. We'll see what happens with that. There's got to be something blocking them from being put on the card. As I said, Calibre says it sent them ok, but they don't show up.

Would my card make a difference? It's an HP SDHC. My understanding is that it shouldn't since I can send the files there through windows explorer and have them load on the reader. I just can't get them to show up if Calibre "sends" them there.
