Hopefully, I'll hear something from Mobipocket. For now, I'm reading the book on my Pocket PC. Haven't read anything on it since getting the Cybook- What a difference! It's hard going back.
It is most probably a problem with images. My mobi2mobi (part of MobiPerl) has a flag gen3imagefix that might fix the file. Use it as:
Code:
  mobi2mobi --outfile new.prc --gen3imagefix original.prc
If this fix the problem please report this file to Bookeen since I find this bug very irritating and I really would like it to be fixed in the first firmware update.
