Sure, you can use the iPod as a portable hard drive to read ebooks on any PC. But if you want to use the iPod itself as an ebook reader, it's certainly possible. Reading ebooks on an iPod consists of just copying the contents of an ebook into iPod Notes, and scrolling through multiple notes in order to read the ebook.

But there are limitations. Each Note can hold no more than 4, characters. If an iPod Note contains more, it will still load, but only the first characters will be displayed. You may see other references mentioning a 4, character limit.

Looking at the results from an actual cut-and-paste experiment, the limit is actually 4, Assuming each Note is packed to capacity, that's 4,, characters. So any given iPod can hold roughly 2, pages of printed text, or enough for eight medium sized books.

Problem 1 : To read ebooks on an iPod screen, the best place is to copy plain text information into iPod Notes. Each Note on the iPod can hold no more than 4, characters.

Solution 2 : Keep your ebook collection on your PC, and just copy books to and from the iPod as needed.

I want to use the iPod as a hard disc to take notes which I will transfer from the PowerBook.

I believe there should be about three items in the iPod icon. I have tried to re-insert the original install disc, but it says I cannot do this with my PowerBook which is running OS X Where can I go to download the relevant 'bits' that I am obviously missing.

Thanks very much. More Less. Reply I have this question too 1 I have this question too Me too 1 Me too. All replies Drop Down menu.
