That "part view" is paged. In the top right hand corner above the grid header you should see a page control. It shows as text on Firefox in windows for some reason. Also, the text seems to be wrong. Says "previous" when it should say "next/last". I think Kovid is going to have to fix the tool tips on this.

Sure, glad I could help.

No... it seems to be an Apple thing that you have to add .local to connect to Apples devices on a LAN. Since the iPod is an Apple device. When I have the calibre server running on my mac, I can connect to it with my PC Firefox browser using http://imac:8080 just fine.

It is probably due to either she doesn't have file sharing enabled on the Mac... or she doesn't have the windows work group name set up in the Wins section of the Network advanced setup. PM me if you want help with this. Also, if you have Vista machine on the LAN you won't see PC's on the Mac (there is a fix)... but that didn't seem to be your problem.
