Aloha,

This is my first post here, I'm signing in from Hawaii.

I've been an avid eBook reader for many years, first on Palm devices and for the last several years on Windows Mobile. I've used .lit, but since MS quit supporting it, I've gone to eReader and MobiPocket.

I have recently acquired a Sony 505, and love it. It doesn't, however fit in my shirt pocket, and I don't like carrying it just for those times when I'm out and have five or ten minutes to spare whilst waiting for Mrs. Wodin to complete her shopping.

Therein lies my frustration! I have been searching frantically for a way to read the same book on both my WinMo phone and my Sony 505, but the only way I can find to do it is to crack the DRM on a Mobi book, then convert it to lrf with calibre.

That's all very nice in theory, but I haven't found a reliable way to crack the DRM.

DRM is evil!
