When I first got my Glo, I tried a class 10 16GB Adata card that never worked in my Touch. It worked great with the Glo. Then I did the stooopid stuff i will not admit to in public and I had the reboot debacle that is the subject of this thread. I inserted the 4 GB class 2 Lexar SD card into the Glo and had the same issues: non-responsive to page turns, reboot after several dead taps on the non-responsive book, and reboots when attempting to open a book from the book list that was not among the five books displayed on the home page.
I tried a factory reset, but it did not fix this issue. What did fix it, on both cards, was reformatting the cards (fat32). After reformatting the cards I did a sync without the cards, inserted the card, and then transferred my books (I used calibre and transferred my 32 books in two batches). I am confident enough to recommend trying this. How to prevent it from happening, is another issue. From what I can tell, using a new sd card, or a freshly formatted sd card, should work, Pulling a card from my older reader and inserting it into the Glo did not, but that may have been an anomaly.

I am getting some help trying to figure out if the fact that i did a sync after the mass removals of books from the main memory or the card might have cleaned up the Db a bit, thus improving my results. I have no reason to think the light is involved.

thank you. I've done it and Globo is working well now. Globo is my first Kobos gadget so I have many questions. Can I add other dictionaries in Clobo? And if it's possible how can I do it? Last edited by Andrey6; 10-07-2012 at 11:09 AM. Reason: adding question |

the spontaneous reboot also occured without the light on (same book as before). The card I use is the one that was on my Touch before and worked greatly with it. As much I can bear some dead taps, slow page turning and so on (nobody's perfect ) but this one drives me crazy. Please Kobo people, do something to fix it as soon as possible

I had the reboots issue and found that my Touch SD card did not work until I did a reformat of the card and added the books back in when the card was in the Glo. YMMV.

I have been able to confirm with a member of our development team and you are correct they will certainly be looking into this. I hope to have an update on Tuesday. Regards, Darrell. |

I am assuming you mean you are hoping to have an update regarding the existence of the problem and confirmation that Kobo is working on it, rather than an update to the firmware. It could take more than a day to get this resolved.

I'm actually 82% in the book I'm currently reading, so, I'll finish this one, and afterward will format my SD card, then put my books back on it and will tell you if those (censured) spontaneous reboots still occure

HELP! I formatted my SD card (through the Kobo Glo) and it doesn't seem to recognize it anymore. I transferred the books via Calibre after formatting but after ejecting and unplugging, the Glo doesn't seem to detect it. I took the card out and re-inserted it to no avail. When i plugged it back into the Mac, Calibre doesn't list any books that it previously copied onto it. I can see them when opening up in Finder, but not in Calibre....

When you formatted, what format did you use? I think you want to ensure it is formatted FAT-32.

Tried reformatting it on your computer, via a MicroSD adapter? Or through a phone with a MicroSD slot?
