I wouldn't mind helping, but I'm confused myself as to what you have done, doing, and trying to do.

Keep calm, and good luck.
Hi John,

Your reply amazes me a bit. Because I literally described step by step exactly what I did. It took a lot of space to do so but I did it in order to avoid the confusion that you now speak of. I told exactly step by step what I did and what assumptions it was based upon.

BTW, when I read that all readers are programmed to lead people to purchasing only and to say as little as possible about entering publications that aren't bought by them, I just wondered something. I am someone with a long history in satellite reception (since 1983), I wrote a number of books and guides on the subject. When a dozen or so years ago so called Linux based Enigma 2 boxes appeared with software that could do a lot more than that of the original manufacturer quite a number of user guides appeared, written by those who had a lot of experiences in using it and/or developing it, written in such a way that any newbie could understand what to do.

Why doesn't someone in this field do the same when it comes to E-Readers? It's clear that there are a lot of people for whom this E-Reader holds no secrets. Wouldn't be a great thing if someone wrote a "Manual for E-Reader Dummies" which didn't concentrate on selling books but on entering existing books, manuals and documents? Wouldn't that be a great idea?
