Bookmarks are saved directly into the book, they are therefore saved to the memory card.
The advantages are that you are able to exchange bookmarks with friends and that
bookmarks are always clearly assigned to a book when working with several books on
several memory cards. You may insert at the most 120 bookmarks per book. This level is
announced by Milestone by: “bookmark“.

Troubleshooting
In this chapter we present some typical pitfalls beginners might stumble over. Do not be
discouraged if something does not function at first go when using your Milestone. The device
was thoroughly tested and you can expect your Daisy book to playback trouble-free.
The following subchapters contain quite a lot of technical expressions. If you get lost consult
your Milestone salesperson or your audio library from which you obtain your Daisy books.

Charging books: announcement “memory full”
If the message “memory full“ , “insufficient memory capacity“ or similar appears when
charging Daisy books onto your SD memory card, this may be caused by two reasons:
The memory card really has insufficient memory capacity. Therefore erase the folders you
are not using or use another memory card, if possible one with more memory capacity.
Another reason for the above mentioned error message is, that the memory card does not
dispose of the necessary memory format. This can be corrected easily. What is at the
bottom of it? Milestone works with 2 Microsoft Windows® and DOS® standard formats to
manage memory capacity. The standards are FAT16 and FAT32. These formats are used
worldwide. FAT32 was developed after FAT16, without replacing it. Thus, two standards of
data recording exist parallel to each other. Normally each PC is able to process FAT16 as
well as FAT32 problem-free and you do not need to consider the memory format at all.
FAT16 however has an important limitation, which is relevant to the use of Daisy audio books.
