I somehow finally did get Bluefire to handle fulfillment of a book. I think I just downloaded directly from openlibrary.org with mobile Safari, and when it prompted me to do something with the .acsm file, I chose Bluefire. It didn't seem to work at first - gave me some error like 'not available yet' when I tried opening the book last night - but when I checked this morning it opened right up. I'd previously tried emailing the .ascm file to my iTouch from my laptop after having downloaded it there, and opening the attachment with Bluefire, but that didn't seem to work. But maybe if I'd waited longer??!
However, the 'return item' function does not work - a problem since you only get to borrow 5 items at a time, for 2 weeks each, and I've used up about 3 of these with my failed experiments. Hope nobody wants to read "The Peter Norton Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC" for the next couple of weeks...I know I don't! <g>
Even ADE gave me an error on 'return item'. But it worked the next time I tried it. Maybe the server is overloaded or something, and I'll eventually be able to get 'return item' to work with Bluefire if I keep trying it.
I was hoping to try Kindle3 browser to read online - but there is some sort of URL redirection going on that it cannot handle.
I'll have to play with it some more.
