>>>I *never* add books to my PDA via Hotsync. My eBooks all live on the
SD card. Adding books is a matter of popping the card out of the TX,
putting it into a USB card reader, and dropping the files from Windows
directly into the directory on the card where the viewer app wants to
see them.
For Plucker documents, that's Palm/programs/plucker. For Mobi files,
it's /Palm/launcher. (The docs claim they can also go elsewhere, but
are not seen by the Palm viewer anywhere save Palm/launcher.) For
Ereader files, it's Palm/books. For PDFs it's /PDFs, since the PDF
viewer I use can navigate the SD card file systems and read them from
any location.
Once the books are on the card, and update library operation in the
respective viewer makes them visible.<<<
Unfortunately, I've never been able to read books off the card. The
Mobipocket books on the card make the program run and run and run trying to
open. As long as I sync and read the books off the "hard drive" I don't
have any problem. With the eReader software the program just doesn't "see"
the books on the card. I talked to tech support but their advice didn't
work. I've tried a couple of different cards to no avail.
The native software works fine but the book readers have never worked right
for me. I've been disappointed in the TX. My E was a much better machine.
