My Amazon Fire tablet suddenly alleged my SD card was read-only. I copied a document to it, and Open Office opened it in read-only mode. This is odd because I just used it to copy 600+ images to my laptop, though originally they were on the laptop and I used the card to copy them - faster than Bluetooth (copying the images to the card and copying them to the laptop was quicker than trying to find which 4 files I hadn't copied for some reason - the card had 659, the laptop 655, when they're supposed to have the exact same files...they do now!). ATM I'm running chkdsk on it c/o a USB adaptor stick; nothing reported wrong so far. 38% checked and still running as of the time of posting this.

This doesn't really matter, as it works for its intended purpose: to backup my files and/or transfer them to and from the laptop. I'm just wondering why the tablet made this allegation. The card's quite new, so it's not an end-of-life thing. Surely if it's read-only it won't allow writing files to it, which it does. Hence my lack of concern. It's just odd.

Then again, this is me we're talking about.
