Hadrien, I also downloaded one of the books on my Kindle and then went to the links inside the books to download some more books. It works beautifully. Awesome. Thanks.
I am now waiting to see how I can get a custom newspaper delivered to me everyday from Feedbooks. |

Hadrien-
Can you post a copy of the code fragments for the links? I want to write my own ebook library index as an ebook. |

Is the syntax the same when creating links in Kindle books the same as it is for ordinary Mobipocket books ? If they are, there are instructions in the Devolper section of the Mobipocket website that might be relevant. eg: Hyperlinks between different ebook files Linking to another ebook http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/articl...hyperlinks.htm "You use the oeb:redirect special URL to link to a different ebook. The syntax is: <a href="oeb:redirect?title=DatabaseName">External Link</a> " Has anyone tried using the Databases and SQL queries within Mobipocket eBooks that are also described there ? http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/articl..._reference.htm http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/articl...=Databases.htm Martin. |

The FeedBooks download links work in FBReader if you turn on "Open External Links" (Cross-Tools icon, Web tab). I tested this under Windows and on a Nokia 770. I have not tested this on my iLiad, because I don't have much experience with its web browser.
On the Nokia, the spaces in the filename don't interact well with the file manager. It would be much simpler if "Author - Multiple Word Title.mobi" was changed to (say) "Author-Multiple_Word_Title.mobi". The links did not work under Windows MobiPocket Reader. I think the Reader assumes links are shopping requests, so they get redirected through mobipocket.com and I eventually end up on the feedbooks.com home page. This might be made to work if you can detect how MobiPocket is changing the request. |

Tried it on the Mobipocket Reader for Windows on XP, and on my smartphone (HTC Touch) and it worked on both of them. |
