Chapter 8. Using the Reader with Other Devices
Reader-compatible Files
The Reader can read only certain types of les. You can download and use audio
les if they have the .mp3 or .wav le extensions. However, you cannot play
iTunes les on the Reader, because those les are designed to be played on a
different type of device.
Similarly, you can play DAISY books and unformatted text les on the Reader, but
not Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF les. You can save Microsoft Word documents
as unformatted text (.txt) les, and play the unformatted text les on the Reader.
Connecting the Reader to a Computer
To connect the Reader to a computer, use the USB cable that comes with your
Reader. Plug the mini-USB end into the Reader, and then plug the standard USB
end into the computer. A message on the Reader display screen conrms that
you are connected to the computer.
When the IntelReader window appears, select Open folder to view les and
click OK on the window. The IntelReader folder opens.
This folder contains two folders – Audio and Texts – which contain the les on
your Reader. If you copy a le from your computer to one of these folders, that
le is stored in the same folder on your Reader. If you delete a le from one of
these folders, it is deleted from your Reader.
NOTE: If you use a Mac, you must empty the Trash on your desktop after
deleting a le from a Reader folder, in order to delete the le from the Reader.
