None of the books that come with it are THAT important but its nice to have ones that are formatted to work straight away. I tried using the connect software but was unable to copy the contents of the reader off it back onto the hdd.

Is this at all possible?

I am setting it up to give it as a present so I wanted to leave everything as is.. in the end i've just added some new books to an SD card so i could leave the contents the same.

Has anyone found out if it adversely effects the batterly life using SD card instead of the onboard memory? I'd assume it loads everything for the book off the card into onboard memory cache anyway, and from then on in its like reading out of memory.. as such it shouldn't have any effect.. even if it was constantly using SD or memory stick i dont know if this would effect it adversely or not.

Cheers

Merry Christmas.
