I thought it would be as easy as my kobo (which started falling asleep on me - that is, not responding to finger movements, until I turn it off and on a few times. It was used, I may need to replace it), where it's just usb, and I copy. I did find this, while googling this morning: <http://nuxref.com/2013/10/15/upgrading-the-mtp-support-on-centos-6/comment-page-1/>, which led me to <http://research.jacquette.com/jmtpfs-exchanging-files-between-android-devices-and-linux/>, which I'll try this evening. I was hoping for extras, or elrepo, but no joy. mark
