The MS Reader help file created a folder called "Annotations" in the "My Documents" folder on the Ax.

I downloaded the MS Encarta Dictionary, as well as the English-French and French-English dictionaries from the MS website and created an eBooks folder on my SD card and placed the LIT files in there. However, when I launch MS Reader it doesn't display the files.

I'm new to the PPC format and the Axim, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question; but what am I doing wrong???

Thanks in advance.

I believe that for some reason, the dictionaries have to be on main memory. I tried putting the Encarta dictionary on my memory card with no luck, but I have over 100 other ebooks on my memory card that are read with no problems.

Make sure that you have created a My Documents\My Library folder on the SD card and have the .lit files put in there.

I was going to say that .lit files need to be somewhere in a My Documents folder or sub-folder, but I just tried moving some books around to different cards and folders, and Reader found them every time. If it's just the dictionary you're having difficulty with, are you able to open it with the desktop Reader? I did have one dictionary that was corrupt and generated a Reader system error, but I don't even remember where I got that file -- it didn't have the same filename or size as the ones on the Reader downloads page.

Thanks for all the replies.

I figured out how to make it work, but I doubt this was a "real" solution -- I just lucked out. All that I did was move the files to the main memory and launched Reader. It worked and all files were recognized. Since I don't have enough main memory to leave them there, I then moved them BACK to the SD card in the same location they were originally. Now when I launch Reader it finds the files and everything works fine. Since this doesn't make much sense it was clearly a fluke. In any event, it's working now so I guess I don't really care WHY it's working -- only that it's working.

Thanks.
