Okee Dokee.

Got back from some chores and did a little experimenting.

Hooked up my Astak PPro via the USB cable, dragged and dropped the Astak "500+ Free eBooks" folder, which is about 250m, from my computer to the internal memory, and then to the SD card, then deleted both, then stuck the SD card in a card reader and did the same thing.

USB cable 250m file folder to int mem = 6 minutes. Delete same, 2 minutes.

USB cable 250m file folder to SD card = 3 minutes. Delete same, 20 sec.

SD Card in card reader, to SD card = 1 min 20 sec. Delete same, 15 sec.

I will grant that waiting 6 minutes for the file to transfer seemed like a half hour, and deleting seemed about as long, but those are the figures I got. Obviously, it will vary with each person's equipment, but there you go.

Hope it helps some.
