What size SmartMedia card do you have installed, if any? In the About menu, click Details and see how much free memory is on the ebook reader and/or SM memory card. I suspect you may have run out of memory when loading that title (200+ pdf conversion).

I then installed the Ebook Library software supplied with the REB1100. The drivers were installed and the program recognized my reader.

Ashkulz, I installed your PDF converter and ran a 200+ page book through it. The .rb file was created with no problem. But--- I can't get the file loaded onto the reader. I've been trying to use the Ebook Librarian software that came with the reader, but the program doesn't recognize the newly-created .rb file and therefore, I can't transfer it to the reader.

If you are using the 'eBook Librarian' by Gemstar, just Import Title... and navigate to where the .rb is stored and then 'Send to Memory card'. A copy will be placed in your Window pane (find it using the title given to the ebook). Note: to have this work properly, you should have 'Update Title Information' when requested, just after your REB1100 was turned on/program started.

I noticed the although the Ebook Library program has the titles of the books listed in the "titles" pane, the actual directory doesn't list those names. Instead the titles have a different name (e.g. "pub-9-000024.rb"). Except, of course, my converted file which has the name I gave it when I ran the conversion.

I thought I could do a drag 'n drop to copy the file to the reader, but I can't find the device with either Windows Explorer or My Computer (I'm using XP w/SP 3).

What am I doing wrong here?

The title supplied by you in the GUI of PDFRead 1.8 should show up in the window pane and may be different than the filename of the .rb ebook.

No drag 'n drop option is possible; no, the reader does not show up as a usb device/drive. You need to use the 'eBook Librarian' by Gemstar that came with your unit (check the CD) to communicate with your REB1100 or check the RB wiki for a copy of that program.

If it still doesn't work, try experiementing with a smaller .pdf conversion first.
