Hello,

I was just wondering if there was a way to convert prc files for the ebookwise 1150. I purchased a book from booksonboard.com and it was in the prc format. I figured, not a problem, I will just use BookDesigner to convert it. WRONG. Okay, I'll use ABCpalm to convert it. WRONG, nothing but garbage characters. I'm at a loss. If anyone is able to help me out that would be great.

Thanks

If it's a DRM-protected book I'm afraid you're out of luck.

I guess there is no way to strip the DRM off the file then?

What format is the book?

PRC is the format. I'm pretty sure it's protected as well.

PRC is not an eBook format. It's a Palm resource file - basically a generic container for information normally used on a Palm handheld.

Odds are that it's a Mobipocket eBook since they frequently misuse the PRC extension.

It could be either MobiPocket or eReader - that's why I asked.

If this PRC file has DRM, then no, none of the conversion tools you have been trying will work.
