And to clarify, my example MySDroot/New Fictionwise/SF Shorts/More M-Z was on a 2GB SD card Changing the battery to a newly rechaged one has seems to fix these intermittent faults for me |

I have just generated a 7 deep set of nested folders and while there were some glitches it seems to work. (a) it took Windows XP 10 minutes before it was willing to admit it was safe to disconnect the USB plug (b) there was then a problem with nothing happening once the Books//Settings screen was reached - I did a reset by removing the batteries and everything was then fine. |

Note that right now I'm using a micro in an adapter, so that may also affect the performance. Use win 7, dude. Last edited by jblitereader; 05-02-2010 at 09:12 PM. |

On Sunday, using a library PC, I generated a 7 deep set of nested folders on an SD card and while there were some glitches it seems to work (firmware 14n still ). (a) After 10 minutes Windows XP was still unwilling to admit it was safe to disconnect the USB plug so I released the SD card, got the message and pushed it in again. (b) there was then a problem with nothing happening once the Books//Settings screen was reached - I did a reset by removing the batteries and everything was then fine. |

As long as you pop the card out of the jetbook and push it back in while the jetbook is on, it sees the change and adjusts itself accordingly. |

I've noticed another issue with the eReader format. The Jetbook Lite crashes back to the main screen if you try and open a book in eReader format with a large number of chapters. Page count doesn't seem to matter just a large number of chapter breaks. I noticed it with the complete Sherlock Holmes and most of the Kenneth Davis Don't Know Much books. The books will open when converted to ePub though it can take a couple of minutes before they open. Seems to be a memory limitation of the JBL.

I find that whether jBook will open a 'supported' file is a hit-or-miss thing. If it misses, I'd just move on and use another device to read. I've long given up on expecting it to open every epub, rtf, etc.

All I have set up on my kids readers are epubs. I've opened up over 100 without a problem, but so far my kids have only read around 10. Maybe the latest firmware handles epub better. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

And HTML that IE won't read (eg, sees as blank) isn't unknown. And as to the query above, the JBL has no mean of following a link to another document in HTML but seems to do a fair job on images if not stylesheets. HTH |
