I asked my web host about this and they said the .htaccess file method will work. I'm unfamiliar with how these files work though, is it as simple as just dropping that line into a text file and naming it .htaccess?

ie all the file would contain is:

Code:

AddType application/x-mobipocket-ebook .mobi

And I can put this either in the folder with the ebooks OR the root of the website?

Thanks for all of the info everyone, I really appreciate it!
