Books on internal memory show as on Memory Stick

doreenjoy · 06-04-2009, 05:11 AM

Let me see if I can explain the problem...

I have a bunch of books on the Sony's internal memory, and a bunch on an SD card.

On the Reader's index, I see the "SD" icon next to the books & collections stored on the SD card.

BUT the books stored on the internal memory all show the "MS" icon, as though they are on a memory stick.

Any help? Ideas? I have reformatted and reloaded all my books and still have the problem. It's a nit, but it bugs me.

Doreenjoy--

I notice this as well, if I load the books with Calibre. If I load them with the Sony software, I don't see this. I don't have a memory stick. I just ignore it. (Sorry no solution for you!)

Hmm, this is very strange as I loaded all the books with the Sony Reader software!

I use Calibre to do the ocassional conversion, but I load all the books with the Sony Reader.

It isn't a big deal, just kinda strange.

Looks like no one had a solution.

I reformatted internal memory and it didn't help.

Well, I can understand the collections showing up as on a memory stick, as I believe that's an issue with Calibre - I've entered an issue with my thoughts, but I've not checked it out completely. I've not seen books showing up incorrectly, though...

Yes, but I haven't used Calibre to transfer books to the Reader. Passing strange...

Thanks! I edited the media.xml file and now the collections show up correctly.

MobileReads rocks!
