activesync is your friend.

you don't need to set up anything, just connect as a guest. this'll let you copy data to and from the ppc, and you can browse the file structure.

to install a program without activesync you need to get the program's .CAB file. unfortunately, most programs are delivered as EXE, for they include a windows installer as well. what you can do is just run the exe on your desktop, then look in the installation directory for any .CAB files in there. if you're lucky, you'll just have one. if you have a generall installer file, you'll see 3 or 4, because there's a specific .CAB file for any of the processors (ARM,MIPS,SH3 or something like that).

copy the .CAB file to the memory card you're using, and on the ppc start file explorer, and click on the .CAB file. it'll install the program.

copying your ebooks is no hassle, since they're just documents.
