Thank you all for you kind responses.

paulkbiba,

I've been using mobipocket on my pda, and I'm happy w/ that reader. I tried several of them when I first started playing w/ it.

I've been reading free scifi ebooks. The site I've been looking at buy an e-book from is:
http://www.webscription.net/free/

Unlike the link you sent me for fictionwise they didn't have any info re: encryption what I'm learning is also called DRM. I have question on how this encryption effects the end user.

I have already had to reset the PDA & clear memory once, and I think I've somehow corrupted it again, so I figure I'll be doing it soon. Does its PID change then. It would seem not, but figured I would ask.

But re: the PID for the computer. I also re-load it maybe several times a year. do you know if the mobipocket changes its PID after a re-load??. The miain thing I'm trying to do is make sure that if I buy e-books, that I don't loose the use of them.

I do almost exclusivly use the PDA for my ebooks. But I've noticed that mobipocket has to be installed to re-load the PDA. So I have some question re: it and its use with encryption.

I will look at eReader again thought.

I have looked at the help info on the fictionwise site. Thanks, that has added some more info.

I do things slowly, and methodicly. So please be paitent with me .

Thanks for your help,
Joe
