I am an embedded linux developer.

I have found a directory parsing bug that creates problems when the storage structure on the SD card is greater than two to three levels deep.

I had my SD card organized as:

SDCARD - calibre - genre - Author - Series - Book Name - title.epub

This would cause the system to hang, or take upwards of ten minutes to load a book.

I did some testing and found the deeper the levels in the directory the longer it takes to load.

The SD card organized as follows:

Author - title.epub works fine and takes no more than 15 seconds to load the book

I have seen this problem in several of the projects I have worked on and it is in the module code that parses file names.

If I knew what version of embedded linux you were running I could probably tell you what module it is in.

I agree there is a bug with the current firmware.

When plugged into my Mac (Snow Leopard) or my PC (XP), it bogs down and has trouble ejecting. Sometimes it takes 10+ attempts to get the JetBook to eject.

File transfers are very slow too.

Keep in mind the USB interface is USB 1.1 so if you are working with large files and a large card you would be better to work with a card reader on your computer rather than through the Jetbook
