Last year I changed my laptop over to Windows 8. I had the Mobipocket reader backed up on a hard drive, and when I copied it back to my new system and tried to open my ebooks I can't. I get this message:

The retailer HANDRACK_2405 of the eBook has not been found in the list of Mobipocket partners. Please check your Mobipocket Reader software is uptodate. Then redownload this eBook directly from the retailer website

Obviously neither Mobipocket nor the retailers exist anymore. I've also downloaded Calibre and the plugin necessary to remove the DRM, but since I cannot open the e-books in the reader, I also cannot remove the DRM.

So I wonder if anybody has run into the same issue and has been able to get around it?

Thanks/Alex
