converted book I had been reading has disappeared on cybook?
A strange problem. I have cybook with SD and use Mobipocket Reader on my windows PC. I sync cybook with my Mobipocket program.
I had a MS Word file which I converted to mobipocket with the Reader program. It synced onto my Cybook correctly, and I read it for about a week. Then it disappeared. Totally disappeared. I have about 200 ebooks already on the SD card, so I've noticed some performance problems with browsing through catalog. Also, once a month ago, I lost ALL my ebooks on the SD card (which I reloaded). That happened all at once though. Losing this one ebook just seems strange. Does this sound like a known issue? (Looking through the forums, I couldn't find anything)? Hapax |

By any chance, have you been just pulling the Cybook from the USB cable without first doing a 'safely remove hardware' on the USB port? That *might* be part of the problem. I tend to just take the SD card out of the Cybook and use my SD card reader to manage the ebooks on the card. Derek |

Definitely sounds as though your SD card has a corrupt file system to me. As Derek says, this can be caused by unplugging the USB cable without doing a "safely remove hardware" first.
I'd recommend reformatting the card in a PC cardreader - and make sure that you ALWAYS do a "safely remove hardware" before unplugging the cable. |

Very interesting. I'm a stickler about doing this with my USB hard drives, but it never occurred to me to do this for cybook.
I do this in File Explorer. Close drive, right click, Eject or something like that. I find that the USB icon on the bottom left toolbar never works as planned. I will try and report back. Hapax |

Battery ?
PocketPC's have the annoying habit of cutting access to expansioncards when the charge is low. Could the Cybook be behaving likewise ?
