Transferring eBooks
Important: A Digital Rights Management (DRM)
eBook is a copy-protected eBook. There's no simple
way to check if your eBook has DRM or not. But
most of the time, if you had to pay for the book, it's
most likely a DRM file. If you did not pay, it is most
likely a non-DRM file.
Transferring non-DRM eBooks
1) Use a USB cable to connect your device to your
computer
2) A screen will appear on your device: "To connect
press OK". Press the OK/Menu button. The screen
will change to say "USB Connection".
3) Your computer will recognize the device as a
"Removable Drive", which is located under the My
Computer folder. (Note: If your SD card is also
inserted into your device, then the computer will
recognize two Removable Drives: one for the SD card,
and one for the device's internal memory.)
