3. Managing & Synchronizing Content

This chapter describes using the Desktop Manager to manage content and applications using the directory structure, synchronize personal information between organizer applications on eBookMan and organizer applications on your PC and synchronize new content and applications between your PC and your device.

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
.pdb	A file formatted for handheld devices
