IMPORTANT:
TIP: If you have a memory card reader on your PC, it is much faster to copy the Encyclopedia.prc file directly to the memory card, eBooks folder. It only takes about 2 minutes. Transfer of the Encyclopedia to the SPV E650 over the USB connection can take upwards of 20 minutes. Even on devices where you have to remove the battery to get to the storage card it is still worth it.
