Well, yes and no. My wife's Aura still has issues with a couple of uSD cards but so do my Aura HD and the daughter's Glo. It seems that cards that worked reliably still work reliably and cards that worked with some firmware releases and not with others are still flakey.

One other thing to be cautious about is the number of counterfeit uSD cards being sold. I checked with the manufacturer (Kingston) about a couple of 32GB uSD cards I had purchased, ran a couple of test and came to the conclusion that both of them are counterfeits. Both were purchased at the same time from a local computer shop. H2TestW says that despite being marked as Kingston 32GB class 10 cards and showing a capacity of 29.8GB, their real capacity is ~4GB.

Regards,
David

Hee. I read (comfortably) at 1%, but that's in a room so dark that my alarm clock is a significant light source.

Haven't updated my Aura HD since firmware 2.10 as doing so would delete my beloved full screen capabilities that those evil developers won't ever truly implement.

IIRC they pulled 3.50 before everyone had gotten it (or that's what I read here), not sure why.
Thanks for the affiliate trick. Do you always get quick updates with BestBuyCa?

It varies as to which affiliate gets the updates early in the cycle.

Hello all,

My Aura HD updated today when I was trying to sync, but did not restart after the update. It's stuck on the five squares, which keep cycling from white to black. Has anybody had this problem, and is there anything I might try short of a factory reset? I have a lot of annotations which it would be a bit of a disaster to lose.

How long has it been?

Once in a while I run into this. Just do a pin hole reset and it should restart.

Trying that sent it into a factory reset. Blast and damnation. I guess something went really wrong in the firmware update.

Hi all,

Just wondered... does just adding screenshot=true in the conf file allows to have the screenshot working ?

Pressing the power button will take a screen shot. This is stored as a JPEG in the root directory of the device. You can copy that from the device the next time you connect to the PC. They will also get added to the device library the next time new books are processed.
On a Aura HD there is no power button to "PRESS". Hopefully just sliding would work...

Thanks for any hint...

I'm sorry. I've never been sent into spontaneous factory reset.

Not to worry. It could have been worse. However, if anyone has any insights into what went wrong, I'd be very interested in hearing them.

The powering off and on didn't fix it per se but it has seemed to fix itself later. Thanks. I haven't tried to duplicate this so it is anecdotal but it seems like I have had an uptick in unwanted restarts when using the web browser. Maybe the websites that have a lot of scripts or a lot of memory usage overwhelm the device. Who knows.

Works great

Off course, losing the "back from sleep" functionality requires to disallow "sleep" mode...
