READER and CREATOR are not the same programs. You can't get READER unless you go rummaging around the Internet and DL it from some old freeware sites. You can still DL Creator from the old site.

This is one of the issues I have with one of the "How to make your kindle book" ebooks for sale on Amazon; the author just updated it, and tells poor noobs to DL Reader to make their books--which they'll never find. Very annoying.

Report on use with Windows 8 64 bit and IE10.

Although I don't normally use Mobipocket Creator any more, I have a number of books originally made using it and they sometimes need to be updated.

I have resorted to running XP Mode and IE8 (in Windows 7 Pro), and now in Windows 8 Pro I have been using Hyper-V to run a virtual copy of XP. This works but it is annoying having to operate a virtual machine, and after spring 2014 XP goes out of support.

Having read this thread and the other one I thought I would see if I could make it work with Windows 8 64 bit and IE 10, with the patches suggested.

I don't use the Guide feature, but do use the TOC feature, including use of two levels (h2 and h3). So I tried just patching the one file, table_of_contents.html as I hoped not to have to work through patching all of them. It is a shame they are not available somewhere already patched as there are a lot of them.

I am pleased to report that it worked perfectly. So I can now create those books again as needed without the need to run XP and IE8.

Thank you.

I attached the one patched file you need to make the MobiPocket Creator TOC feature work in IE9 and IE10.

Extract from the zip file and copy it to:
C:\Program Files\Mobipocket.com\Mobipocket Creator\rsrc\html
or if you run Windows 64 bit to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mobipocket.com\Mobipocket Creator\rsrc\html

I'm sure someone here has gone through all the files patching them to overcome the IE9 problem.

But would anyone be willing to zip them up and make them available?

You will see that I did this for the TOC problem (message above), but it would be good to have all the rest patched.

Thanks.
