Things to read...

[wendii]

I seem to be on Stupid Saturday here, but figured you would be patient with another 'am I missing something' question!

I have an iPAQ something (it doesn't have any numbers on it!) and I thought I would get some of the files I've made in Notepad from the web to read later, put them on my iPAQ and then the next time I'm in a queue or whatever I'd have something to read.

Well, it seems to work with diddy files (like 1 & 2mb) but not with anything bigger. I'm putting the files in the pocketpc folder which seems to tell the computer I want them synched but then it crashes.

Am I doing something wrong.. or did I just assume I could do something I can't?

thanks for your help

If you made files in Notepad, then you are probably trying to open them on you ipaq with PocketWord.

Don't.

PocketWord isn't that great of a program for reading files. You should use a dedicated reader.

And I DO NOT recommend Microsoft Reader.

Use uBook. It is free and I've opened files on it up to 12MB. It can handle more, I'm sure, but I just don't have text files that large.

You want the one that says "µBook Pocket PC / 2002 / 2003 (Windows CE 3.0+) Download"

Be warned, while this is an awesome program, the navigation and default skin are a bit funky. Once you open a file, though, you're all set.
