Edited:Found The Swarm ebook

Some days ago I asked:
"Hello everybody. I have an EBW 1150 reader. I am looking for an ebook, The Swarm by Frank Schatzing.

I found it on fictionwise (and other sites) but it says that it is available in mobipocket secure format. I believe I can't read this book on my device, right?

I also searched for it in "other ways" but had no luck, found it only in german language.

What can I do to put this book on my device?"

This is what I did:
"Today, half an hour ago, I bought my first mobipocket book. It was The Swarm, by Frank Schatzing.

I bought it for $9.09 from BooksOnBoard.

Immediately I used Secure Mobipocket Decoder and got the html file. I could not load it into word though, probably because it had so many special characters (german and norse). I just opened it in firefox and did a copy-paste into word. Then it just took me half an hour to make bold the chapter names and start them in new pages.

It is official, it works!"

PS. I know I could get it in .lit format, that can be unDRMed more easily, but I wanted to try mobi.
