After you download you unzip the file just like you would if you were going to read it with a DAISY reader. Then if you look in the folder where the files of the book are, usually there's any where from 8 or 9 files up, there's one than ends with XML. Click on that and it opens in your browser. Then do a select all (control plus A) Then copy it to the clip board (control plus C) Then open note pad or word pad on your PC and paste it there (control plus V) Save it. Then you have to copy it to your phone. There's probably already a Books folder on your phone Put it in there or create another folder for your books with whatever name you want. It sounds like a lot of steps, but it's very quick when you're used to it. I can download a book unzip it and vonvert to text in just a minute or so. I usually do several at once so when I connect my phone to my PC I can copy them over. In the programs I mentioned, most give you an options of finding the books on your SD card and arrowing down to the Books folder or whatever folder you have your books in. Then just click on the one you want to read. Denise At 05:43 AM 7/9/2011, you wrote: >Hi Denise, >This sounds good. >A basic question.
