Today I ran into a problem with my DR800S, the first thing I did after I got it was to insert a bigger SD card, in my case an 8 GB model.

All went fine until now, today I copied a further ebook on the device and hit a wall. The device disconnected from the USB port without a message or warning while copying. After I did a reset, I got a warning message after the reboot was finished: "The SD card is almost full. You might want to delete files to free space.". So I checked the usage of the memory card in the system settings and it was only approx. 4 GB. After switching to standby and on again, the warning appeared again (see enclosed screenshots).

Had anybody success in using more than 4 GB on the device? Or is it a problem or bug with the firmware, currently I am using the beta firmware with zoom and stuff?
