Synchronizing Content and Applications
The synchronization process moves files between your
eBookMan and the PC. It also moves data between your per-
sonal information manager (such as Microsoft
® Outlook ® ) and
organizer programs on eBookMan (such as Date Book).
When you click , the Desktop Manager does the following.
1. Compares the files in the Device pane (on eBookMan) and
Contents pane (on your PC).
Note: Some files available at www.franklin.com/ebookman
are downloaded to the Desktop Manager in a com-
pressed format. During synchronization, zipped files
are identified. You will be prompted to unpack each file
and synchronize again. To unpack a zipped *.seb file,
double-click the file or go to File|Unpack.
If a file in the Device pane shares the same name as a file in
the sync folder, the older file is overwritten.
2. Uploads unique and changed files from the Device pane
(eBookMan).
3. Downloads all files from the sync folder on your PC.
4. Synchronizes personal information (if Intellisync is config-
ured).
5. Synchronizes audio books through AudibleManager ® (if audio
books are detected and AudibleManager ® is set up).
To move individual files, except audio books, between
eBookMan and the PC, do one of the following things:
• Drag individual files between the Contents pane to the
Device pane.
• Double click a file in the Contents pane.
• Right click a file and click Send to eBookMan (in the
Contents pane).
Music Files
The Desktop Manager converts MP3 files to the eBookMan
music format and gives you a destination choice (RAM folder or
MMC folder, when available) before sending the file to your
device. To synchronize individual music files, follow these steps:
