I've been using Iliad for about 2 weeks. I am generally happy with it, but I've also found several (mostly "usability") issues. One problem is that there is no easy way I can synchronize document folder in Iliad and the collection of articles on my PC.

I am a researcher and have a large collection of PDF academic papers on my PC (7GB+). I bought a large CF (12GB), and was planning to synchronize the literature folder in my PC and the CF card (which will be used with my Iliad). I thought I could achieve this easily by using a synchronization software that I use to backup my files onto an external hard drive. The initial synchronization was easy--I just synced the literature folder with the CF card. However, I realized that once the PDF files are accessed by Iliad, Iliad creates a FOLDER and put the PDF file into the folder. Because of this, no further synchronization is possible because the file structures between my PC (all files) and my Iliad (all folders) are different.

The companion software can be used, but it is not really efficient to use it because I cannot simply add new files into the literature folder in PC and sync with the CF card. Am I missing something here?

I am wondering if someone has found a way to more efficiently synchronize Iliad and PC. If so, please enlighten me. It will be tremendously helpful. Thank you in advance.
