Hi margie, your understanding is correct. You download books to your computer, then drag and drop them onto either an SD card or the internal memory of your ECO Reader (your choice). You can create your own folders on your SD card and your ECO Reader and you can paste your books to any folder you wish.

To manage purchased Adobe ePub and/or PDF ebooks, you'll need to download Adobe Digital Editions to your computer and connect your ECO Reader once to your computer while Adobe DE is running, so you can authorise your ECO Reader (Adobe DE writes a little file to your ECO Reader). After that authorisation has been done, you can drag and drop Adobe DE-protected ePub and PDF books between your computer and ECO Reader/SD card.

The magazines should load onto your ECO Reader with no problem, unless they're really huge or complex. You have the choice of 2 viewers for PDF files, so you can choose which viewer best suits the format of your magazines (zoom the page or reflow the text). If the magazines are A4 size, keep in mind that they'll be shrunk down to fit a 6" screen.

My preference when purchasing books is to choose ePub, where available, then PDF. For free ebooks, I choose ePub, then Mobipocket. ECO Readers are ideal for reading novels!
