I am back from Thailand and am so pleased that this e-ink technology worked great on the boat.
I have checked and found out that the 8GB card I have in my DR800SG is a cat 4 card. I have about 2,000 books on it but that is well under 2GB because they are all in epub format. I can't get faster than cat 4 that I know of. I am concerned. I have to remove the leads from the battery every week or so. This helps the device work better for a while - no idea why. I was hoping that my card was the problem but if it is cat 4 that would surprise me. Someone else had two iRex devices in their house and had different issues on the two of them. What is your status?
I was considering going with a smaller card - 2 or 4GB but I couldn't find a 2GB cat 4 and the stores only had cat 2 4GB cards in stock today. I am certainly not going with a slower card. Not sure what to do. I very much like the display and the menu system on my iRex but you really know that there is a "computer". with computer type issues, under the covers. With my Sony 505 I never knew I hadn't any intelligence - it was just like reading a novel, it just worked which was great................Jackie
