It seems the reader sends all web page requests from links within an ebook to ETI servers for redirection. In order to bypass them you need to extract the required URL.
I've managed to make it work with privoxy by adding this code into default.action file.

Code:

{+fast-redirects{check-decoded-url}}
bookshelf.ebooksystem.net/form/redirect.asp?

This may also help ashkulz for his coding.
By the way, ashkulz, if you want to let your impserve download IMP books from mobileread.com you'll have to change their HTTP response header. Whenever you download an IMP file from them, they handle the file with this header "Content-type: unknown/unknown" and it should be "application/x-softbook".
Plus, take a look at the way mobileread writes their links: their href field omits domain name. The readers http client can't understand that.
