iPodLibrary v1.2 Help --------------------Changes since 1.

1 ------------------There can now be a limit on the number of notes loaded per book can be set so th e iPod doesnt have to load all unread chapters for each book every time you undo ck. I usually have my limit set to 20 notes, so however big each book is, my iP od only has to load 20 chapters per book. :) Each book now has a 'Book Contents' page, which contains links to chapters you a re likely to use (eg. current chapter, current chapter + 10 etc.) aswell as some stats about the book. Each chapter now has a 'Next' link at the top of each page (aswell as at the bot tom). This makes it far easier & quicker to load a bunch of notes (10 is about the best number) before reading them. Previously you had to load a note, then g o back to the chapter list and select the next chapter. Now you just have to hi t the middle button 10 times to load the 10 notes. Once youre done reading those 10, go back to the Book Contents page and simply s elect the link to the next block of chapters.

Updating from v.1.1 -------------------iPodLibrary 1.2 updates automatically from 1.1, keeping all your books and prefe rences. However, you cannot use iPodLibrary 1.1 on an iPod which has been used with iPodLibrary 1.2 as it will corrupt the book database...

----README FROM iPodLibrary 1.1 -----General Usage --------------The first time you run iPodLibrary you must specify which drive your iPod is con nected to. iPodLibrary attempts to figure this out for you, but is not always ab le to. To import an eBook, click the click the 'Import eBook' menu button. Select an e Book file to import and select the title you want to appear in the library and o n the iPod. Then hit 'Import'. Your eBook will be put into the main Notes folder on your iPod, with the title y ou specified. It is broken up into 'chapters'. These are not the actual book ch apters, but because each note can only be 4kb, the book has to be broken up into

pieces. To check your book was imported in iPodLibrary, click back to the 'iPod Library' screen. Your book will appear in the list. From here you can update your books and remove them. Setting a book to inactive means that the book will not count towards the 1000 n ote limit, but you will not be able to view it on the iPod. This means you coul d have 100 books installed, but at any point in time only some can be enabled. You can also specify which chapter you are currently up to. Keeping this up to date means the iPod has to cache fewer notes and makes it easier and quicker for you to find your place again.

Tips for book reading on the iPod: ------------------------------Each chapter contains a link to the next chapter, so it possible to simply read to the end of each chapter and hit the 'Next' link. However, this means the hard drive will spool up each time, which takes a while and drains the batteries. W hat I have found to be the best is load a chapter, then quickly go back to the c hapter list and do the same for the next 10 or so chapters while the drive is st ill spinning. Then go back to the first chapter you want to read, and read the ten chapters using the 'Next' links. As they are already in memory the hard dri ve doesn't need to spool each time. An annoying thing about the note reader on the iPod is the fact that hitting the back button takes you back to the last note you viewed, not the main Notes fold er. While this is fine most of the time, after reading 10 chapters it means you have to traverse back through each of the 10 chapters to get back to the menu. I have found it best to just hit the back (menu) button lots of times and just wait for it to sort itself out.
