That said, I haven't tried it for the Mars, as I user my larger capacity card in another device (currently a 64gb card as partly adopted storage is sufficient for my needs ), but my observation in the past has been what you described. I had several devices that allegedly took only 32gb of Sd card storage, but worked fine with 64 or 128gb. Typically that sort of restriction is indicative of the format that is supported, as larger cards are formatted as exFAT by default. But of course you can normally reformat. I don't know of maybe with reeeally old devices you might actually have a limit at 32gb, but I'm not aware of any technical reason why 200gb cards would not be supported if 128gb cards are (as they state for the Mars).

It's more the fact that the chipset used may not be stable writing to and from larger partitions and corruption can occur down the line. But still for just storing book files ect. Should be fine. If the device can't read it format it as
fat32 on the device or in a pc with SD formatter.

When I first got my Likebook Mars, I tried it with the 200GB Micro SDXC card I use with my Sansa Clip Zip, and it could not read it. That card is formatted as FAT32, not as exFAT, to work with Rockbox. For my Likebook Mars, I bought a 128GB card. It could read it right away, using it as external memory, but I formatted it anyway to use as internal memory.

Did you try to let the device format the 200GB, the allocation of the blocks could matter as well as the format. Just my two cents.

No, that would have wiped out a large music collection, and I didn't want to take the time to recopy everything to the card again.

Okay figured that since you said it was from the clip (great DAP BTW), that might be why it didn't work though.

I'm assuming the Likebook Mars couldn't read it, because it was formatted as FAT32.

Can the text be inverted (white text on black background like Oasis 2)?

If you mean in the OS yeah with accessibility invert colors but it's not great, in the stock reader app it refreshes kinda odd unless you have a pretty low refresh set in it. I use inverted colors in moon + Pro and not the OS and if you set it to refresh each press it will flash when you flip pages but then it never smears and looks much better then the stock app I think. Either way shows all the dust on your screen and you can see the edge of the display a little bit since the screen is not flush with the device so be aware of that.

How'd you change the list? It became an option in another menu?

No, I just found that the list is a scroll, you can scroll the list down and you will find all apps
