I no longer connect mine directly to the PC.

Jetbook (& JBL) have a USB 1.1 port. Its slow.

I use a SD card to USB adapter. One end has a slot to hold an SD or SDHC card. The other end has a USB port to plug into the computer. Since it is USB 2.0 its considerably faster than the cable.

Cost me a whole 3$.

Some manufactures of SD cards are including adapters in the packaging if you shop for them.

For me its just much faster and easier to move a bunch of books via the SD card and an adapter.
