Dear Mike, thank you very much for the quick and precise answer.
Where could I get this library?
From the package eb.rpm on your SuSE 9.0 CDs or from the SuSE 9.0 FTP version:
it is always nice to find something new in the own old drawer...
2.How will I be able to get my databases down from the electronic book to use them on the deskop? Is it after all possible without special hardware?
The electronic book CDs are "normal" CDs. They may be a bit smaller to fit into the standalone electronic book-reader devices, but you can put them into your CD-ROM drive and mount them just like any other CD. Then you can copy the contents to some directory on your harddisk if you like.
Unfortunately "my" electronic book "Dictionary of Science an Technology" is in a floppy-like plastic-cage, which I will probably break, if I try to get it out there. And thats not an option for some reason. Thanks a lot Jakob
