If you use an external hard drive with a program and software called PogoPlug. You should buy a hard drive that is at least the size of your existing computer’s hard drive if you want to backup the programs as well as data. It’s a USB drive that is also a card reader.Īn external hard drive (or time capsule as the Mac world calls it) is a hard drive that you attach to your computer and with backup software automatically backups your hard drive. A compromise is to get a device like this. The disadvantage of the USB drive is that you can’t use it with your ereading device. I particularly this LaCie keychain one but there are dozens of USB drives out there that would suffice. It uses the USB port, as the name implies.
The advantage of a USB device is that does not need a separate card reader. The microSD cards are tiny and they need a card reader to be accessible via most computers. The problem with micro SD cards is the propensity for losing them. The storage cards are a nice way to provide a backup for your ebooks because many of the ePub readers will read books from a storage card, usually a micro SD card.
There are currently two main sources of portable media types: USBs and Storage Cards. Other cloud services don’t have this kind of developer support. The nice thing about Dropbox is that because of its popularity, there are a number of mobile apps that are integrated with Dropbox. My preference is for the automatic syncing thus Dropbox, Mozy’s new MozyStash, SugarSync.
