I'm rather new to ereader-land, but wanted to try this software on my BeBook One ('refurbished' version, that according to the bebook site should be an 'old' one, but it turns out to be a 2010 BeBook, so V3ext.

I first wanted to try OI on my sd, and followed the installation guide.
I used a small sd card (256 MB), and formatted it with the tool provided by sdcard.org.

However, something is not completely clear for me, since I'm not a computer guru...

In the installation guide I read: It may be necessary to use an completely empty SD card and/or to reformat the card with the SDcard.org tool and/or to low-level format it with the HDDGuru's low level formatter and then put a file system on the whole card (e.g. with mkdosfs) and/or to create a partition first.
Thus this mean: you can either:
- reformat the card with the SDcard.org tool
or
- low-level format it with the HDDGuru's low level formatter and then put a file system on the whole card (e.g. with mkdosfs)

Or does it mean:
- reformat the card with the SDcard.org tool
or
- low-level format it with the HDDGuru's low level formatter
and after on of those two options,
- put a file system on the whole card (I haven't done that, as I don't know how to do that yet, and because it sounds to me as something that only should be done after the 'low level formatting'....)
