Memory Cards 8GB and Larger

02 DEC 2008

There is an incompatibility between the Sony readers and the default format of some 8GB and larger memory cards. The problem can appear after updating these cards for the second time, which is usually after installing your second cycle. The problem results in the reader failing to recognize the updated books. Either the "Collections" menu will be empty, or the books listed will fail to load.

The 2GB and most 4GB sized cards do not have this problem, and switching to one of these smaller sizes is the easiest way to eliminate the problem. However, if you want to continue using an 8GB (or larger) card, you can also eliminate incompatibility by reformatting it with our updated format procedure. The procedure takes only a few minutes, but it is a bit technical, and there's potential for data-loss if done incorrectly. So, if you're the least bit unsure about doing it yourself, please give us a call. We'll be happy to return phone calls and walk you through it.

Suburban Airports

01 NOV 2008

If you're looking up a small airport near a major city and can't find it listed under the actual city name. Try looking under the major hub's city name. This isn't always the case, but it's very common in the western regions to find smaller "reliever" airports listed under the adjacent large city. Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles are prime examples.
