Let’s say I’m writing a eBook reader for Windows Phone 7. Now the first thing that the user will need to do is add some books to his device, and since I don’t offer a online book store or similar service, the only option is file transfer from his PC to the phone. Is he able to do this, how? Then how do I access this file. Can this file be placed in Isolated Storage of my app? I was searching around and didn’t find any solution, in fact I believe that similar scenario is currently impossible but I just wanted to hear your toughs on the problem and probably some workaround ideas.

I haven’t seen any way to add files from the desktop the phone is connected to. However, you can build your own software for the desktop that uses a WCF service and allows connections from the phone. The phone can download files from the desktop WCF service. See a similar concept here, you can implement the concept discussed in the post the other way round.
