It seems like the SD slot on the top of the eBook is a bit narrower than other devices.

Did anyone else have this problem? I am not planning to return the ebook, but will probably just buy a 2GB card and leave it in the device permanently.

John, out of curiosity, were you able to confirm that the 1GB card was working normally while it was jammed in there?

Thanks for the feedback guys. The SD card was appearing as a storage drive in Windows when I connected the Cybook via USB. I managed to copy files to/from the SD card without a problem.

I will buy a 2GB card on the weekend and install it in the ebook. If no problems, I'll just leave it there and forget about this issue.

To answer HarryT's question, I pushed the SD card in as far as it would go. I used the tip of a pen to push the card. The card just bounced back to the original position and did not eject.

Yeah I am surprised how often companies try to save a few bucks on buttons!?!?!?! Buttons are one of the most used parts of a device so you'd think they spend bit more for a better quality and easier to press buttons.

With some practice you learn the optimal angle and force to use. After a while my thumb gets tired though.

My directional button is already loosing its (paint?).

I am hoping next software update will add up/down option for plus/minus buttons. Then if/when the cursor keys fail we'd still be able to use plus/minus instead.
