I just bought an N800, primarily for use as an e-reader, partly on the strength of positive reviews of FBReader. First thing I did was to upgrade to OS2008, second thing was to install FBReader. I copied several ebooks (one multi-file HTML in a folder, two plucker PDBs from Gutenberg) from my Windows PC onto my SD card. But I simply cannot get FBReader to find these books. The "Add Book to Library" dialog cannot seem to navigate outside of the primary device. I tried changing the Option "Book Path" to /media/mmc1/ but that doesn't make any difference.

I've seen several posts referring to the ability to browse to an SD card, but I am clearly missing something crucial.

BTW, I have no difficulty in seeing both cards (and the ebooks) in File Manager.

Also, FWIW, I did rename the cards, although that doesn't seem to change their system paths (e.g. a Web browser bookmark to the HTML book shows it as being in file:///media/mmc1/....)

Any suggestions? I am counting on the N800 to provide me with reading matter as I travel and visit family next week.

Many thanks!
