When I connect my reader to the computer (I have Windows 7) the only option I have is to open a folder to view files, which doesn't do me any good. I can't transfer the books on the application to my Literati. The demo shows that there is a sync option, but I don't seem to have one.
I hope someone here can help me figure out how to enjoy my Ereader. Thanks.

Hello, I'm not really sure on the charging question, as there really is no way to tell if it's fully charged. Other than the fact that the battery symbol is full on the device.
With transferring, I've talked a tech support person at literati. They told me that as of the Dec 3 2010 update(1.9 version) the Literati does not connect to the Kobo desktop application. But, the are working on it, and it will be included in the next update. But, there is a way to get the books on there without using it.....
1.) If you haven't already, you'll need to download Adobe Digital Editions. (You can get it free from the Adobe website, just google it
)
You'll need to first authorize the program to your computer, by entering your Adobe ID, you'll need to register with Adobe if you don't have one.
You'll then need to authorize your Literati to the Adobe program, if you've updated to the 1.9 firmware, then the first time you connect the Literati to the computer while you have Adobe Digital Editions open, it you should ask you to do this automatically.
2.) Whether buying a book from the Kobo store, another ebook store, borrowing from your local library, etc....
After you purchase a book it will be in your "purchased" books area on the actual Kobo
website, next to it should be a button that says "Adobe DRM EPUB".
Click this button to bring up the dialog box, and select "open with: Adobe Digital Editions".
After doing so Adobe Digital Editions should be automatically opened, and it will start downloading the book onto your "library" shelf.
You then just need to "drag and drop" the book from the "library" shelf to the "literati" shelf in the program(this shelf will only be in the program when you have the literati connected to the computer), disconnect your Literati from the computer(Always eject it from the computer before disconnecting), and the literati should automatically update and then show the new book on your device.
Hope this helps
