1) I'm using Calibre on my PC. Do I just drag books up there onto the card (like I did w/o the card)? Or is there something from Calibre I should install. (Without having mouse control, not sure Calibre is worth/workable.)
2) I'm thinking of putting music up on the EZ Reader as well. Does doing audio drag on the batteries a lot... to the point I should be carrying a 2nd one charged if I'm out on a long day/ day'n'half adventure?

So happy to have my reader back. I got sooooooo addicted to it in a couple of week.  |
I use Calibre's "Save to disk" for books, because it does all the filing into the folders, correctly, the same every time
I also have to use 2 different save templates because single pattern will not do what I want.
and I have a lot of books on the SD card.
Code:
{series[0]}-series/{series}/{series_index:0>2s} {title}_{id}_{authors}
00NoSeries/{author_sort[0]}_authors/{authors}/{title}_{id}_{title}-{authors}
The first is used with books that have a Series name (filing by Author would split up the series)
The second is used for books without a series, and places all the authors into "00NoSeries" folder, further making a sub-folder for "author names that begin with" to avoid overloading the root folder and to avoid HUGE lists to scroll through. Only 3 folder layers (/00NoSeries/a_authors/Isaac_Azimov/<the_titles.all saved formats> )
Be sure to set the save options to use the underscore in place of spaces ( or bookmarks may not work), I also force to lower case to avoid "Capitalization" differences, duplicates.
For Music,
Drag and drop to the SAME storage you read from, otherwise it is a PITA to navigate to tunes, then back to your book
Playing music does use some extra power (sucks about 1 bar on my PEz in 8-10 hours. I use better headphones with it. )
