Thanks for the answers. I did check the User Manual and the FAQ and found nothing about installing or updating that would answer those questions.

Kovidgoyal,
I noticed you said "not yet" for the hard drive structure (genre and/or alphabetical folder grouping) questions. Does this mean these things are on your "to do list"?

I'm asking because at the moment I'm looking to generate a fairly large path/tree structure, probably like this:
<Drive>:\eLibrary\<Subject>\<Genre>\<Alphanumeric>\<Author>\<Filenam e. ext>

The eLibrary is meant to be long-term data storage for multiple sets of data. Besides text-based data (fiction, RPGs, manuals, poetry, et al), I'm also going to include manga, music, images, movies, etc. I would prefer to use one structure through out. However, as I stated before, I have noticed that Windows can bog down when dealing with >500 children (folders or files) in a parent.

By using the path structure I outlined above, I'm hoping to avoid this problem. Each finer sort helps to keep the number of sub-folders within an acceptable response time. It might be better for me to consider a file server and/or NAS, but I'm just not that knownledgeable on networks... yet.

I'll have to go read another ebook.
