Javed, exactly! I've also downloaded a boatload of children's books so I can read to the kids when we're out and about and have some time to fill.

And all the landfill saved too on future eBooks.

Yes, carrying around 100-8,000 eBooks in a Pocket PRO is really a tree-saver. More, it saves the environment from paper-bleaching. This is what pulp mills do... turn brown paper to white. The by-product is Paper Mill Sludge and that is non-mitigatable with 32 known carcinogens.

Clearly, going to an eBook Reader makes a whole ton of environmental sense!!

Ok, I reread the faqs on theezreader.com and have a couple questions:

1. When installing books on the SD card, the site says you have to connect the pocket pro to your computer and install from there, when the computer recognizes the drive. Is it possible to just put the card into the SD slot on my computer and install that way?

2. Once I install the firmware upgrade, can I delete the file from the SD card, or does it need to remain on there?

Thanks!

1) Yep you can use your SD card reader on your computer. Just be aware, sometimes the new files don't get picked up straight away when you plug the SD card back into the PP (you may need to turn it off/on for it to pick them up).

2) After the firmware upgrade you can delete it quite happily as the firmware has been copied to the device. I forget who it was but on another thread it was suggested that you keep and archive of all the firmwares you install in the event you do an upgrade and don't like it and want to go back.

there is one case when you should use you connection to a computer to do the transfer even to the SD card. That case is when you purchase a DRM eBook and you want ADE to perform the transfer. It is not required but easier.

To avoid having to reset the clock (Nov 09 FW on), avoid the reset button or turning the PEz OFF. (Firmware load is a Must start from OFF, case.).

I switch to internal memory (Not in a book: Menu - 5) before removing the SD card. Inserting the SD card, auto-magically switches back to the SD card, and usually refreshes the list when done in this order. The correct clock setting is needed if you check out Library e-books to read.
