Yea, the prices on cyberread aren't really as good as on booksonboard or fictionwise but with the discount, it makes the prices pretty reasonable.

Glad that it's been useful!

This is so bad...
I just bought an ebook (Thank God I just bought one cause I intended to buy 7!!!!!) from cyberread.com
And when I notice they don't ask for the PID Number I tried to ask some questions to cust service (about whether I can read it in my Hanlin V3). And when they said yes and help me with the instruction, I bought it (just one for trial).
I've followed all the instruction, and still I can't read the ebook in my V3

Can somebody help me here??
Or how is it to strip this DRM? Cause I can't read this book

Trust me guys, you'll regret it if you ever buy something from cyberread.com.
I bought a book, it can't be read at all in my device, and I send them around 5 or 6 emails already and NO REPLY YET (when I asked it earlier whether I can buy the book for my device it only takes a couple of minutes for their reply, but when it's a problem, where are they????).

What instructions did they give? Did they eventually ask for your device PID?

They never ask PID number, I had reconfirm that thing before I bought it in case I got it wrong, but yes they never ask for PID Number.
If you open it in desktop mobireader they'll ask your user and pass in cyberread in order to open the book.

And they said it can be transferred to Hanlin V3 with drag and drop from my Mac (and I've registered my Hanlin PID Number also), still no luck, and still no responds from them.

Just ask for a refund. As far as I've been able to tell, Cyberread rely on the use of Mobipocket Reader on Windows to encode their Mobipocket books with PIDs. If you don't have Windows, you can't use their Mobipocket books.

Hopefully they'll set up manual PID entry on their website eventually.

that is strange.
i didn't use mobipocket reader to download my books. and i am a mac-user.
downloaded the books from my account form cyberread and saved them on my sd-card and compactflash. could read the books on cybook and iliad. took the drm off and could read them on my sony as well.

Yeah, I download the book from "my account" also. Then drag&drop the file to my SD Card and even tried this in my Hanlin harddisk itself, still no luck. They said in the website it'll be okay will Cybook, but since I have Hanlin V3 I emailed them first to make sure is it ok with Hanlin, and they said YES it should be no problem.

PDurrant, yes I asked them for refund (if it still can't be transferred to my Hanlin), let's see how they'll respond, it's been one day, and I sent 5 or 6 messages to them, still no reply

Did you follow this FAQ topic in there help section?

It is for CyBook... you profile shows you have one. But, I can't imagine it would be difference with a CyBook or V3.

Although I've got to say from reading that I don't understand how your PID gets to the store.
