When the e-reader is connected to the computer via USB cable, it should go into mass storage device mode and show up as "U-Disk" in the left side panel of ADE. Click and hold (with the left mouse button) the ebook you wish to transfer, drag it over to U-disk, and let go. When the transfer finishes, press the return key on TB to get it back into normal reader mode. Your ebook will be in the Digital Editions folder of the reader.

(If you have the latest firmware, DRM'ed epubs should work just fine.)

Maybe the TB didn't automatically pick up your Adobe registration. Select the DRM Register item from the main menu. If it doesn't already have the email address and password you used to activate ADE, go ahead and enter it manually. Use the joystick to to highlight the "Activate" button and press the enter key. If that doesn't work, you might have to call Augen customer support.

No, I am having issues with the time slipping, and with the SD card being recognized only part of the time. I am adding the time problem to the list of cons in the material I am gathering for a review. Other people have also had the time changing problem.

two items

First clayw1p1 did you get a new tb from Augen yet as they promised ?

2nd would it be nice-- I used a palm unit for the past 5 years and I was always able to backup it on my computer


would it be nice if each night would be able to back up the TB with the computer incase there would be a problem

this is another thought for augen. do you guys agree with this


Thank you

Jim

I would back up my book files and use the reformat utility. That will remove the corrupt files that cannot be deleted.

Things Have Gone From Bad to Worse

It's been a week or more since my last post. Since that time I have been told by Augen Customer Service that I missunderstood and that I was not being sent a new unit. That's fine, never really needed that, just wanted to get it fixed. After trying two firmware upgrades, my Landscape View is still upside down. I contacted Augen Returns and they told me to send a copy of the receipt and they would send me an RMA number to send the unit back for repairs. Three times I have sent them copies of the receipt without any response. I even faxed their Corporate Headquarters without any satisfaction. I get absolutely no response from them at all. To say the least, it's been very discouraging. At this point it looks like my only option is to return the unit to Kmart for a full refund.

Initially I thought the Customer Service was okay, but now it looks like I was mistaken. It's to bad too, I liked the unit even with all its quirks. It still can't keep time and the SD Card is only recognized half the time. Let the Buyer Beware! I no longer recommend this unit to anybody!

Augen customer service is pretty shabby, but take a look at post #16 of this thread:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...t=92893&page=2

An official update is allegedly planned for release on August 30th which is supposed to address the accelerometer screw-up from the previous update and the SD card issues. Of course, Augen could issue a statement to that effect in the "News" section of their CS site, but they seem to prefer keeping customers in the dark.

Sorry about that. Remember I got mine from Heatlland and it came with the 7/22 update that they talked about.

I would recomend that you return to Kmart and get one from JR

heartland and JR each came with with the 7/22 version


I am very happy and proud with my unit because of the help you guys have given to me

I would also recommend that hold off from the return and lets see what is the 8/30 update is and what it will fix.

my unit does not keep good time yesterday I did not have to reset back maybe I was just reading

also I have trouble with barnes and noble and getting epub books because of 9.0 and my version is 9.1

but I am talking with B&n and about it

they only other process is that I do not know how to get a WMA file from the library and I am working with that situation . Epub and PDF work fine all the time

Thank you guys

keep smiling.

Jim

Thanks for all the advice, it's appreciated, but just a little too late. While on the road today, I received a call from Augen with an RMA number. When I got home, I immediately boxed it up, created a label and put it in the mail. If they can fix it, I'll be happy. They assure me I'll be happy with the fix. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
