And good luck finding it. I have a heck of a time trying to find
where my Pocket PC magazine E-Book gets hidden each time.
For some reason each time it puts it in a different location.

I am probably going to kick myself but how do you do this please?
I have looked in the Reader Folder but can't see anything that looks
like my ebook

I don't have mine set up to sync files, so can't say definitively, but
IIRC in your "my documents" folder there should be a folder for your
device - that would be where files sync to/from.

I simply copy my ebooks to the folder on the PPC directly using the
windows explorer.

It depends on what OS you have on your desktop, look for a folder in 'My
Documents' called 'My Library'. You should find your eBook in there

Thank you all for your help.
I found it in My Library and have copied it to my PPC.
At the moment I can't read it because I have to reactivate my Reader but
I know how to do that.
Thanks again
David
