I haven't installed the connect software - the $50 credit comes I guess when
the reader is registered.

Instead I loaded a 2 Gig SD card with a mixture of things, PDF's mostly for the
Iliad, books for the Libre, text, html, and the PSR-500 Guide which I downloaded
from the internet. The books were sorted into directories on the SD card
but when I turned on the Reader they all appeared together in the
book list, except for the html which is not supported, some 133 books. Holding
the size button down shifts to landscape making pdf file for the Iliad
easily readable - The text displayed well - pictures better than expected considering that
there are only 4 levels of gray.
