mRothgeb Thanks for your reply. I had a look at gktpod but whether it was because it was all new to me I found it horrible. I attempted to find out if it could work in the way I was looking for but their system of obtaining information was in my opinion poor. I keep getting e-mails advising me of things I have no inclination of using but nothing about what I asked. What little I saw did not lead me to think that this was the answer to my prayers. Do you think iCrack can offer a means of syncing my books to an iPod?
