What was the former folders? maybe it will help making new ones..

Did you contact the support already?

Carsten S: Which version of OS X do you have ? 10.5 or older?

Not yet- tried to fix it myself- because the magnitude of self-mistake.

Though with the COOL-ER's drag and drop solution there might be problems with deleting files on a mac (especially on a mac and SD flash cards) since the files just get moved to the hidden .Trashed folder and therefore filling up space..

I have made Apple Scripts for that in the past, the problem also came when I made an automated copy, jpeg compression, images resize and auto crop from flagged iPhoto photos to a Memory Stick, to use with a digital photo frame.

Well, the solution to your problem is a flashing of the firmware, I'm afraid. As that is not available yet for download, the only viable solution is to contact the support and get it from there.

Ok thanks, I will do that then.

You might already know this, but just in case :
It's pretty simple to remove these files, you just have to empty the Mac trash with your device connected.
This will also empy the trash folder on the device.

One extra tip:
If you want to be able to read Aportis doc files (ereader files are not working) you should rename the file from .pdb to .prc! PDB, for some reason, is not recognized while prc is!

Thanks, I would like to know if someone could try with a Macintosh with Mac OS 10.4 or lower. There was a lot of bugs in USB on the netronix software and I want to know if they correct it... (and it was not working with Mac OS X < 10.5)

Yes I'm almost positive that the camera still was in USB mode, so I included this in script:
rm -rf /Volumes/X/.Trashes/

But it is worth keeping an eye on.

Also whenever I want to go back to the library page from a book reading. It hangs there forever.

I guess the wisdom is not to change any of the file structure then....

I am really frustrated. Emailed them and see what they say.

Any luck fixing yours?

The original folders are:
Digital Editions
Free eBooks
My Audio
My Docs

I am using a PC, and I have added three other folders without any problems.
When my Cool-er crashes, it simply switches itself off - and back on again - without me doing anything about it!

My latest crash came when I had converted a book from (unsecure) Mobipocket with Calibre to be compatible with the Cool-er, and it had no table of contents..... when I tried to view the table of contents, the Cool-er crashed! The previous crash came about when I had several books opened, but none bookmarked and I suspect I just challenged the memory a step too far!

This is really not a good thing if there are memory issues... I hope they will fix this

I might actually be interested in knowing how the flashing issue goes with the tech support, Carsten.

I still cannot authorize the cool-er with ADE, and I suspect something's wrong with the details in a file inside the Digital Editions folder, so maybe a factory reset will help.

I seem to have a strange behaviour with the battery indicator, as it's always half empty when I'm reading a book (the battery is fully charged), but it show correctly as full when I'm in the library.
