I will try and dig into that later today because I wanna know for sure don't know why but just do is all. |

Ya must not have gotten to the above discussion. Still thanks for clearing it up. I still swear I recall Adobe was refusing to license DRM'd ADE unless they too got exclusivity. But nice to see a couple clarifications about the situation.
I do seem to remember MOBI was that way even prior to being bought out by Amazon so it was a Mobipocket policy rather than Amazon imposing their scheme and policies on them. Or do I have the bassawkwards as well? haha, would not surprise me today, it's been that way all day. Well it has been since 4AM anyway.
