You can use your iLiad as a CF card reader.
In the 3rd page of the iLiad settings, set it to export the CF card via USB, instead of the internal memory.
This way you can access the CF card (instead of the internal memory) via the iLiad's USB connection.

On that same page you can change the Archive locations from internal memory to CF card.
Note, however, that this only changes where your iLiad looks for the news/books/documents and notes, it doesn't move any files that are already in place.

To move files you could install and use the emelFM2 file manager, but considering your experience this might be a bit too complicated for now.
The easiest way is probably to connect your iLiad via USB and use any file manager on your computer.
That way you can move files around on the memory that is exported via the iLiad's USB connection.

If you want to move files between, say internal memory and the CF card, I recommend the following procedure:
Set the iLiad to export internal memory via USB.
Hook it up to your computer and move the files from the iLiad to your computer.
Set the iLiad to export the CF card via USB.
Hook it up to your computer again and move the files from your computer to the iLiad.
It's a bit involved, but you only have to do it once. After that you just keep on using the CF card only.

Oh, the reset switch gave me some problems at first too.
It does work, but it just doesn't show it.
Remember that the image on the E-ink display stays on until it is updated by the iLiad.
If you reset the iLiad, it is basically turned off, so it no longer updates the display and you are left with whatever image was on there when you hit the reset button.
So after a reset you should use the power button to turn the iLiad back on, and it will start normally.

I hope this helps a bit.
