I agree with you regarding the future of Mobipocket. It is ashame and of course I don't want to lose the books I purchased. However I wonder about Fictionwise. I wrote to them about an issue and they honored my request to return my lost credits. I am also starting to get a lot of emails from them again. It seems to me they are again actively going after customers. Even if B&N closed them down they would want to transition all of these customers to their main site. Why lose the customer base? That would be plain stupid. It costs less to retain a customer than to get a new one.
As an example I created a directory \books. I added my books in this directory and they are now appearing in the Mobipocket Reader.
The reader created a \books\covers and \books\Covers\bookshelf
I tried moving what I thought were the covers to the books\covers directory but the covers do not appear until I click on the plain pink book image.
Should I move the books to \books\Covers\Bookshelf
Sometimes the books disappear and only reappear after closing and reopenning the program. I got to get off of this program.
Do you know how to recover the covers? Thanks again and I will check out the DRM conversion.
Are there any other readers for the PC that can read DRM Mobipocket books?
