Hey RWood-
Thanks very much for the advice. I installed the 4.0 (found via WIKI), extracted the latest update and did a 'yes to all' when asked about replacing files. I was unable to upload the .imp version of the book to the personal content server (make book = GEB) so I tried again and made it a .rb file, uploaded and moved it to my reader. My TOC links don't work but I see the note below and will try that this weekend. If the librarian is super easy I may just get that. Between money for classes, etc., and waiting to get billed for the kindle I'm just feeling very 'anti-spend' right now.

Thanks again for your help-
