1408222 2015-09-11 06:05:00 Hi All

I have been given a flash drive full of legal books. I have managed to convert them to Epub files & have them on another flash drive. This is plugged into the tablet & is flashing away. When it finishes I can find & read a book. However if I remove the flash drive all the books disappear. I have not worked out how to 'Save" them . Any ideas? Thanks. PJ

1408223 2015-09-11 07:18:00 You will have to save/copy them to the internal storage of the tablet. Driftwood (5551)

1408225 2015-09-11 14:19:00 You may need some sort of File Manager to copy it over. ES File Explorer is a good app to install to help you do what an OS should be capable of doing, copying, moving files etc.

Another method which I am theorising is opening it with your web browser if possible and it may provide a way to save/download thd file. Accessing it may not be easy since you would need to know thd path to the files.

Cheers,

1408226 2015-09-11 14:36:00 On mine I connected it to the PC and used windows explorer to copy files over, I can do it with the tablet but it's just easier sitting at a desk with a keyboard and mouse. dugimodo (138)

Did it last week at the inlaws, had a Flash drive with several hundred ebooks we had grabbed from home, simply plugged in the USB drive to their Computer, plugged in the Tablet as well. Navigated Via explorer to the Ebook folder on the android, then simply copy/paste the whole lot from flash drive to Tablet in one go.

1408228 2015-09-12 04:51:00 Are you talking about IE 11? I get a Yahoo page when I go there. Cannot see Edge anywhere. When I Google for IE11 it says that W10 dorsn't work on W10. Is this the Windows Explore you are talking about? PJ Poppa John (284)
1408229 2015-09-12 05:01:00 Yes he means windows explorer.

Havent got 10 here but on 8.1 it's file explorer or just explorer

1408230 2015-09-12 05:55:00 yep, Windows explorer -- Here at home I simply drag/Drop or copy paste over the LAN from the Server that has them all stored.

Example: In the left window is the Android Tablet (connected to this Computer) - Right is the Server in the workshop ( but from a USB will be the same) Lets say I wanted all of the James Patterson Books - Simply drag the folder or copy /paste to ebooks = Done> :)

To remove them later I'd reattach the Tablet to the Computer, go into the ebook folder and delete them. SWMBO does this at least once a month (sometimes more) on her e-reader she takes to work while on the train.

1408231 2015-09-12 06:04:00 Don't confuse windows explorer with internet explorer. Windows explorer is the name for the normal file management interface of windows, in windows 8 & 10 they now call it file explorer.
when you open look at the contents of a folder, that's the explorer I mean.
