Ok, I've authorized both the reader and the computer and I downloaded and transferred a book from one of the online stores with no problem.
However, I still have the same problem with transferring files from the hard drive to the reader by copying and pasting into the reader/media/books folder. A 9MB book was taking ages to transfer at a 16KB per second rate.
Whats the cause of this? Im really getting annoyed with the product as I've literally hundreds of ebooks on my hard drive that I want to put on the reader.
Please help guys
