Have you tried using a card reader instead? The Stream should work in Linux but Humanware has said many times that using a card reader is the recommended, and much faster, way to copy books to the SD card. Also, although this seems obvious, make sure you do a full card format as FAT32. I've read various reviews that said that cards had to be reformatted several times before they worked correctly.
