PRS-500 Where are storage cards mounted?

geekraver · 10-30-2006, 02:12 AM

I don't have an SD or memory stick in my reader. I was wondering what the path is to the directory wehre books are installed if you install to storage card (I want to add this to the rss2book config). Anyone able to enlighten me?

My impression is that it doesn't matter - when the card is inserted, the Reader scans all the directories for book files wherever they are. But I haven't done testing to confirm.

Update: Oops.. seems my answer is irrelevant as I misinterpreted what you were asking. Sorry.

It's a bit unconventional for a Unix-like system, I guess, but the SD card is accessible through a DOS-like shortcut B:/ (And the MS card must be A:/, although I haven't verified that).

You can run: ebook.py ls b:/ and you will see what I am talking about. Sounds like you can use this B:/ thing as a regular directory or mount point.

Well, for now I took the somewhat less user-friendly but more flexible route of having the user specify the full path in the rss2book options, instead of a install to main memory/SD/MS radio button set.
