Then I don't know what your Mac is doing. Maybe it's thinking different
![]() Sorry, can't help you any further with that then. I guess you'll have to wait for a Mac user, or ask in an apple forum. BTW, I personally don't think that the file system is to blame anyway - Kindles are known to just act weird at times. |

Thanks a lot anyway! I really appreciate you spending time on this.
For me it's just strange that two Kindle 3s and one PW are all behaving like this. Unless I got some kind of Windows virus which doesn't affect Mac but affected all Kindles which are being handled by me all the time. I thought it had to do with Calibre because it started when I was sending books from Calibre to Kindles. But now all three of them act strange even without Calibre. Thanks a lot ixtab! |

Umm... wait. Did you actually run that umount command? In your quote, it is commented out (that # sign is a comment to the terminal, so it ignores everything that follows).
So did you run umount /dev/disk1s1 (or possibly sudo umount /dev/disk1s1) before the fsck_msdos command? You can verify what is mounted using the mount command. Try it before and after the umount one... |

It means that there were no errors on the disk (Otherwise it would have told you so). Whether that is good or bad news is up to you to decide
![]() My guess is still the Kindle firmware itself. It is known to choke on some books, for no apparent reason. Unfortunately there is no known fix either ![]() |

![]() At least I can now relax and not worry that there is something wrong with the files or file system, whatever that is ![]() You are probably right, it's probaly just Kindle itself and I'll just keep converting mobi to mobi before transferring books. Thanks a lot!!! |

![]() ... if the mobi->mobi conversion does the trick, then yes, it's probably easiest to just stick with it. ![]() |
