MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - PRS-950 Can PRS-950 web browser view local HTML files?

I started the web browser, and tried entering URL's of "file:///" and "file://localhost/", but it would not accept either.

I have a LOT of HTML docs, and am not willing to spend time/effort/space to convert them to another format that the 950 is known to handle. I have a nice Archos 5 with web browser(s) that will follow the standard of rendering file://localhost/, but would like the larger screen of the 950 for reading these files.

Any suggestions?

TIA
