One more thing I've discovered from a review point of view. The unit uses a mini USB port, the same as my digital camera and numerous other things. However, the cable supplied with the STAReBOOK has the plastic surround of the cable shaved right down to only be as thick as the USB connector. It doesn't look like a normal miniUSB plug will fit. Again, I'll try to get some pics to illustrate this.
Just a bit annoying as while you can transfer .STK files using a card reader onto the SD card, it doesn't seem to index them or add them to the bookshelf as occurs if you transfer them with the eReader software.
On another note, full success using this with a mac. Obviously from the mac side you can just drop STK files onto the mounted SD card, but the eReader and STK maker software runs fine under parallels (XP virtual machine). The USB connection for eREADER also works great here. (techy details for those interested : XP SP2 runnning on a bootcamp partition, but running thru parallels accessing that bootcamp partition. Also runs fine under bootcamp itself of course)
Next challenge is to try the spanky looking PDF2JPG that yunhaid has so generously provided.
