[Dtb-talk] Failure deleting books from Victor Stream.

[Fred wurtzel]

Hello,

My wife, Mary, has a Victor Stream.  It does not delete books, we use the
computer to clean up the card.  It does not matter which card we use, the
effect is the same.

Best Regards,

Fred

No, I have not heard of such issues.  You might want to reformat your SD
card.  The only thing I have found to increase startup time is a large
number of books on my SD card.
