The CyBook can only act as a USB client, not a host. You need a host at one end of the connection to "do stuff".

The only BookReader I'm aware of which can act as a USB host is the iLiad.

hello, why is it that your signature has an exclamation point where it should have a period?

The "Sima Hitch USB-102 Digital Transfer System" is a hardware solution to what you want (it essentially acts as the host computer sitting between two USB client devices). It should also charge the Reader via USB. The Hitch typically gets poor reviews and is relatively expensive, but it is an alternative to a full computer for file exchange. There may be similar alternatives, probably advertised as ipod exchange devices.

I *guess* they're expensive! Brand-new on eBay they're running for Buy-It-Now prices in the $49 range! Ouch!!!

No. I'm talking about the Sima Hitch USB 102 device. Don't know anything about it except - if I'm reading the eBay listings ad copy right - it functions as a 'smart' USB host for any two USB client devices.

As I only need to transfer from my PC to my Cybook, I don't own one of these.
