I have downloaded some books ro my e-reader, when the reader is connected to my pc i can see the books on the pc, but there aren't any icons on the reader, any advice welcomed.
Regards,
Derek.
Perhaps the OP simply means he doesn't see the books on his 350 when connected to PC.
If that's what you mean, derek, that's normal - in fact the reader can't be used as such when connected to PC.
All you see is Charging battery, then Do Not Disconnect [cos it is in data transfer mode.] so it's nothing to worry about.
If that's what you meant, that is .... ![]()
Sorry for not getting back sooner.
I load the books onto my Reader and when the Reader is connected to my PC and I clink on the Reader link, the books are recorded as being on the Reader.
When I disconnect the Reader from the PC i can not see an icon (shortcut?) to the books.
Hope I have explained this properly, chances are I am doing something incorrectly.

Derek.
Yes - have you any books on the reader that you can read at all ?
And sorry, I'm sure it's me being dim, but you say you load the books on your reader - and you know this because PC tells it has done so ?
And when the reader is disconnected, switched on, and you go to the Home page, what do you see ?
And if you see and hit "Books" [which is, I suppose, the shortcut you nee] ....what happens, what do you see
then ?
You don't say you've tried a soft reset, that may be worth trying.
Finally, if all else fails, and the reader actually works/switches on/is charged up.......install Calibre - no registration etc.. required, it just works and recognises it when you plug it in.
Then you can download a book and see if that loads onto the reader OK - if it won't do it with Calibre, I'd suggest somethings wrong with reader.
When I loaded the first books onto the Reader, they loaded Ok and there was an icon for each book on the home page.
The latest books (4) I have tried to load, when the reader is connected to my PC and I click on the drive for the Reader, the new books are listed but there is not any icons on the home page.
Also if whilst connected to my PC I click on the Reader drive, then a particular book I can read the book on my PC screen.

With the reader disconnected you're saying that no books are showing on the home page? Yes or No
Are they showing if you select all your books or go into collections. If on the home page you select 'books see all' how many books does it say you have on the reader and is this different to those on your PC?
As suggested you should install Calibre software, then add a free book and does that show on the home page.
