I downloaded DiskAid and moved my book from my PC to my iPhone. This was the same file I had put on my Kindle and opened with Kindle for PC. The sync works great between the Kindle and the PC, but the iPhone doesn't want to play.

I'll try a different book and see what happens (time was limited yesterday).

Also, DiskAid seems to be a competent program. I had 2 other explorer type programs (iPhone Explorer and iDisk) instaled. Neither would allow me to put a book in a Kindle folder. iPhone folders doesn't work on a 64 bit Win7 machine. Seems like $9.90 will be money well spent.
