wormturns · 12-14-2011, 08:54 PM

Was wondering if it was possible to download program files, like Calibre, firmware updates, etc. through a WiFi hotspot with the PRS-T1?

I tried to download Calibre through WiFi to a micro sd card and the T1 would not save it because it was not a recognized file type (ie, not a book). Is there a way to trick it or settings to change that would allow the download?

I'm in a situation where I have rural dial-up (very slow) and no even inconvenient way to download files over about 20 Mb. And no smartphone and no wifi laptop-look away, I'm pathetic.

Any help would be appreciated.
