Simple Things

...or at least they should be!

I have a Pocketbook IQ701 running 2.0.3, seems to be standard install to which I've added Dolphin browser, Maildroid, Aldiko, FB Reader and ES File Explorer.

It's got 268 books in the standard onboard library, which I assume accounts for a large part of the 2gb usage? Whatever, I have about 18mb of free space on the device (7.3gb free on the 8gb SD card).

I want to 'move' all the books onto the SD card - this is a temporary measure so I can free up some space and attempt a 2.0.6 upgrade. However, I cannot copy the files to the SD card - I go into the file manager and select the 'books' directory, copy it, and then navigate to the SD card...but it just says 'could not move folder'. As I'm on a Mac, nor can I move them by USB connection as the PB doesn't mount as a mass storage device.

What to do?

Ultimately, what I want to do is:

1. Ditch the PB home screen and have my PB open to an Android Screen
2. Ditch most of the PB reader stuff (which I see as pretty ropey anyway)
3. Have one operating system running on the PBs internal memory - have all apps on this internal memory (NOT on SD card)
4. Have all books on the SD card (and NOT internal to the device)

Don't know what the best path to achieving this is, anyone any ideas? Obviously first I need to be able to get books and other superfluous stuff off the device!!

Thx in advance!
