Reader: How to Transfer E-books to Your Pocket PC

This article was previously published under Q317395

SUMMARY

This article describes how to transfer e-book files from your computer to your Pocket PC.

The download process is handled by Microsoft Internet Explorer or other browsers and they do not recognize the Pocket device. Therefore, they do not download them to your Pocket PC. If you want to read e-books on your Pocket PC, you need to manually transfer them to your Pocket PC.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
