Now plug your reader in your PC with the USB cable that came with it. No cable? No problem! Every run of the mill USB to mini-USB cable should do! Once connected, the reader should show up as a drive, just like an SD-card or a USB-stick. Still with me!

Now for more of this:
We do have 2 possibilities now: 1) undrmed ePub: Like the ones from MobileRead, Feedbooks, Munseys, Manybooks, Baen, Gutenberg and Google (actually there are hundreds of thousands of them) and, of course, Smashwords has unDRMed ePubs, too. You just copy and paste on your Reader or on your SD-card in the Reader (that should show up as an extra drive, normally) if you don't understand Chinese, just delete those chinese books while you're there! Your reader should recognize those books now when you unmount your device and start it! Bingo!

2) While being plugged to your PC, open ADE. I understand that you have an account with ADE, right? If not, please register. It's free! Now your reader should appear in the ADE interface (on the left hand) Click on the reader icon, authorize your device! Go buy some drmed ePub! Once authorized, transfer your drmed ePubs from the Adobe library to you reader! This might be done however you like. Important: Put those books in the folder Digital Editions! Unmount, unplug, restart! Voilą!

In case of further trouble, please let us know!
*Breathing....*

I didn't restart the reader.. The Thornbirds I transferred to a new folder, and it was gone... The book I transferred from ADE wasn't there either...

This morning the reader needed to be restarted and everything was there...

How will I know an epup book is DRM'ed?

I have the firefox add-on for epub books... Do I use the 'save' button to get them onto my reader?

Had a better look at the reader today... It has approx 2100 pre-loaded books in English... I haven't yet looked at the Chinese selection

Thanks for your help... Can't believe I didn't restart the unit... I even restart my car, if something doesn't work...
