eBookMan and organizer applications on your PC and synchro-

Managing Files in the Desktop Manager

Use the Desktop Manager to store all content and applications
for eBookMan. Some applications can be used without content.
For example, you can use the calculator ( Calculate ) without
content. Other applications require content. For example, the
Franklin Reader requires eBooks formatted as Franklin
Universal Binary (*.fub) files. Before you use the Franklin
Reader , you must download an eBook and move it to
eBookMan.
File Types
eBookMan recognizes most PC files. However, not all file types
can be used in your eBookMan device. For example, video clips
such as *.vgm can only be used with a program that runs *.vgm
files. Files that are not recognized will not be transferred to
eBookMan. File extensions may be in lower- or upper-case
characters.
Content is any file that must be associated with an application to
open it. Content files include, but are not limited to, the following
types:
.htm or .html HyperText Markup Language file
.mp3 Music file
.txt Text file
.fub Franklin Universal Binary; the file extension for
Franklin Reader books
.prc A file formatted for handheld devices
