What ReaddleBR allows you to do is actually explore what you have put into the directory /DCIM (the same directory as photos taken by the iPhone camera). Any program that allows you to change the /DCIM folder (in non-jailbroken iPhone) or the root directory (in a jailbroken one) will couple finely with Readdle Book Reader. I suppose that in your home computer you can install "DiskAid" (free program that allows exploration of the DCIM folder) and put your files in the /DCIM root (on the left bottom corner, need to change from DiskAid folder to the root above it). The public computer (assuming its a windows; don't know why any sane company would use a mac other than for looks) if your iPhone is updated with the latest patch, will show your iPhone under My Computer. It treats it just like other digital camera and will allow you to read (but not write) the /DCIM folder. You can then copy the files you want over, but you'll need a program to write it back to the iPhone.<br><br>Hope this helps Ok, I see what you mean now… What ReaddleBR allows you to do is actually explore what you have put into the directory /DCIM (the same directory as photos taken by the iPhone camera).

It is only an option. To use USB cable for file transfer, you need to use the free PC application as noted in the post (which can then be viewed via the iPhone App). L2READ dude...

Same reason that Apple doesn't allow Bluetooth keyboards for the iPhone. God forbid people start making use of the iPhone's actual capabilities and start using it like a laptop.

During my very limited time with it, its handling of HTML, TXT and PDF has been iffy at best with loss of formatting being the chief problem. For now, I agree that Stanza is the way to go.
