I'm SoyCoffee

Hi, all

By way of introduction, I'm SoyCoffee. I began ebook reading with a 2002 Dell Axim X5 PDA. I immediately saw how great it would be to use it as a mobile phone. BUT the screens on the mobile phones were much smaller. Finally, my existing phone committed suicide by jumping into standing water. That freed me to get an Android phone (from ATT). I assumed, incorrectly, that my existing library of ebooks (Fictionwise) would transfer to the ATT phone. (Other carriers -- no problem. ATT -- big problem. ATT say buy from Android Market ONLY.)

I see that the forum has been in existence a while, and I'm wondering whether I am joining, or perhaps rejoining.

The problems I hope to solve: I have a large number of ebooks on Fictionwise in several different formats. Where I had purchased a book, but never downloaded it, I could have Fictionwise convert the book to a Kindle book, and "whispernet" the book to my Android. BUT if I had downloaded the book (still on my Fictionwise bookshelf) to a DRM'd format, I could not transfer the book to my Android phone.

I'm hoping this is the place to get some advice.
