Getting Books on Your Pocket PC Phone
You can purchase and download book files from the Web to your desktop PC and then synchronize them with your Pocket PC
Phone. However, you must have activated your Pocket PC Phone (you only need to activate it once); have an activated copy of
Microsoft Reader on your PC, and have set up synchronization for Files in ActiveSync.
1.
Open ActiveSync on your desktop PC and check you have selected synchronize Files. If you have done so it will appear
under Information Type. If you have not click Options, Sync options, tick Files and then OK from the pop-up menu.
The pop-up menu is telling you your computer will create a folder in which you must put files you wish to synchronize.
2.
If you have not already activated your Pocket PC Phone, open a web browser, go to http://das.Microsoft.com/activate
and follow the instructions.
3.
Go to www.microsoft.com/reader/shop.asp for a list of retailers selling Microsoft Reader e-Books.
4.
If you do not have a copy of Microsoft Reader on your PC, go to one of the retailers listed above and download a free
copy from their site. Then activate it as described above.
5.
Go to one of the Microsoft Reader e-Book sites and follow the instructions in the site for choosing, purchasing and
downloading a book to your desktop PC.
6.
Use Windows Explorer on your desktop PC to locate the Microsoft Reader "My Library" folder and the "Pocket_PC
My Documents" folder, find the book title in My Library and then copy it to Pocket_PC My Documents. ActiveSync
will then download the files from your PC to your activated Pocket PC Phone.
Sample books and a dictionary are also included in the Microsoft Reader folder in the Extras folder on the Pocket PC
Companion CD.
