Just for fun, I started playing w a Palm TX. Got it running w HotSync to my Windows 10 PC. MobiPocket reader is installed on both PC and Palm TX. I have a large (22Mb) .mobi file which loads and reads on the DESKTOP MobiPocket reader, but I can't get my Palm TX to see it. Further, I can't seem to remember how to get it to the TX via HotSync, so had to resort to a simple file copy from the PC to the 128Mb SD Card. Even so, MobiPocket does not see the file on the Palm device. I've placed the file sequentially in:

1) root of SD card
2) in user-created eBooks folder
3) in PALM/Launcher folder

Calibre doesn't see this device either (though I don't think it was ever intended to). And, though the Desktop MobiPocket Reader shows both my PC and a Palm device, though there is no Send To option for the Palm device. AND, yes, MobiPocket sees and reads the default .mobi books on the Palm (Aesop's Fables and Mobipocket Help). So, the app is installed and sees SOME items...

I'd really like to see this book again on my Palm TX. Yeah, I know all about PalmDay 31 DEC 2031...but this is for now. Anyone out there w a long memory? I used to be a whiz w my Palm TX, synching remotedly over a VPN and really making use of it. That was a long time ago...

Many thanks.
