PRC Files
I built a book in Mobi Pocket Creator, but I cannot read the prc file that it made. Any ideas why?

Will the Windows MobiPocket Reader read it?

Ok. I downloaded mobipocket reader and was able to open my prc file, and my book looks absolutely horrible. The text is all whacky, there are pages with wingding symbols on them etc. The whole thing is a mess. HELP!!

Jules (the original poster) also reported the problem in this thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26452 It is clear the he was working from a poor-quality source file. Also, he wasn't using an emulator to see the results of the edit. It's a GIGO situation. |
