Use the web browser on your desktop or
notebook computer to go to this site! There
you will find all the latest and greatest books in
the Mobipocket format that your EZ Reader
requires.
Whether you like The Classics or Comedy or
Drama or Action/Adventure… you can
download easily from this website into any
dedicated file on your computer such as “My
Books” (as a suggestion).

has a relatively newer operating system that
will work for such downloading. Most will
without any trouble! Check with the website
for Apple Compatibility.

Moving books and music from your
computer to the EZ Reader
With your computer “on”, connect your EZ
Reader via USB cable to your computer. Turn
on the EZ Reader and press “OK” button. This
should bring up a “What do you want Windows
to do” dialogue box. Choose “Open Folder to
View Files”. This should bring up all of the
folders that you have on your SD card or in your
device embedded memory.
After this window is opened, everything is just
“Copy” and “Paste”. Minimize the Opened EZ
Reader screen on the computer, open “My
Books” or “My Music” or “My Pictures”…
click on what you want in the EZ Reader…
right click and choose “Copy”… and then drop
it into the EZ Reader file screen you just
minimized by hitting “Paste”.
14
Make sure your music you load is MP3
formatted and your pictures are JPEG only of
less than 1GB.
That is about all there is to it! The download
from the EZ Reader Screen on your computer to
your EZ Reader is effectively “automatic”.
For “encrypted, DRM, and other formatted
books…look for information on:
