Lie Still by David Farris (generic mass-market thriller fiction)

Mobipocket Reader says the book is "Encrypted Mobipocket Format" when you look at the details, but it displays on at least 3 different Mobi readers with different PID's (2 PC, one Palm).

I assume that's what you mean when you say no-DRM -- i.e. open to any PID it would seem.

None of the other books I've bought from Amazon and had time to check will open in Mobipocket Reader.

Sidenote: I had a similar experience with Mobi's loaned from my library's Overdrive service. At least half of the ones I've used so far barf on the kindlefix script, but open unmodified just fine with the Kindle and any mobi reader I've tried. The others are clearly properly set to my Kindle PID, only work after fixing, and only work on the Kindle.

Your example would be public domain and likely intentional. I would think mine was a mistake?
