Thank you for the explanation. I am very technologically adept except when it comes to programming I am as newbie as it gets.

I can't thank you enough for the CBZ plug in. It made my Irex purchase worth every penny. Yeah it stinks that I have to unrar and rezip most of what I want to read but since the alternative is no reading, I can live with it.

Hopefully there will be some workaround for it eventually.
