Hi Scott, OK, so if I understand correctly, you can't move a txt file onto the unit and then translate it, is that correct? But you can move a grade-2 file on to the unit and read it?
The case thing doesn't bother me quite so much, but I would like to be able to put books in BRF format on the Edge and read them.
