Hi all,
I just got my new iliad
2 in the mail yesterday. I love the sharp quality and the way some graphic pdfs look on it. However, I can't connect it to the internet for the latest software. I'm using parallels on a macbook with an airport connection DSL and it just doesn't like it!
There is no transparent way to put the new updated software on the device without a connection. And yet, there must be a way because the book version of the iliad must have access to updates. I'm confused.
Also, I've tried using mobipocket to put books on the device with a usb connection. It seems to work but all the mobi books have A big X through the icon and won't open. I've never used mobipocket before, so this could be a result of ignorance on my part.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. So far, I've only been able to look at PDFs and Htmls with a thumb drive. The mobi isn't doing it for me and the companion software seems to do nothing. (I'm not sure if the folder is for things I want to put on the iliad or for the backups.)
Anyway, except for the pdf function which IS great, I'm almost wishing I'd gotten a Kindle instead since their connection is supposed to go pretty smoothly.
Any ideas for me. Please remember, I'm pretty non-savvy computerwise. I can type and that's about it.
Thank you,
Sherry
