Tips & Warnings
If your Palm also has a removable media slot, you can also put PDFs onto the card from your PC and then put them on the Palm. Select the "Card" option on the reader to find the PDFs.
Some PDFs may not work with the conversion or produce messy results. Be careful which PDFs you try to put onto the Palm.
