Comment 3 for bug 1198248

David

As far as I can remember everything I have added to the device has been by either Calibre or the Kobo's own wireless downloading. I'd have to take some more time to see whether any of the files use peculiar characters in the filename.

As far as the tests go, the first test worked fine. Windows "sees" the device and I can move files onto it with no problem.

The second test: error log etc listed below.

Many thanks

Steve
