I was, however, hoping that 1, 5 and/or 7 in the list would mean I could read the none-drm'ed ones on my V3. This, I find, is not the case, and I'd like to learn what these improvements in the Hanlin firmware list actually does:
1. Add pdb parser
....
5.Support pdb files which use "REAd" as create id
..
7.Support readable pdb files recognize automatically
Can anyone explain? |
The Aztak mentor device will been shown at CES in January. It is rumored that it will be able to read eReader files. All Palm derived formats typically has the ability to read PDB files with the REAd creator id in addition to whatever format they are designed for. In a few cases the porting to a new device misses this fact and forgets to allow this format. Such was the case here and Mobipocket format is a superset of basic PalmDOC so just permitting it to read this format was enough to make it work. eReader format is a different superset of basic PalmDOC.
