Mobi t/f to Sony
Hi Everyone

Have just goofed up and wonder is there anyway back! I purchased a novel on fictionwise and downloaded to PC through Mobireader and now realise that our Sony eBook Prs 505 won't/can't accept the Mobi format. Comments please!

Two options...

1. Send them an email and tell them you goofed and they will probably refund your purchase.

2. remove the DRM from the files and convert it with calibre. Of course, removing DRM is thought to be illegal in most countries.

Hi popeye and welcome!

There are so many different formats out there it gets really confusing. There is some information in this thread about buying books at fictionwise for the Sony Reader that you might find helpful.

Also check out the wiki at the very top of the page.
