So far, I have downloaded and installed MobiPocket Reader, FBReader, and FoxIt on the ADV3500PC.

FoxIt works well within the constraints of the ADV3500PC but FBReader is not doing what I expected it to do.

When I use FBReader on a Linux Internet Tablet (the SmartQ 7), I'm able to read non-DRM MOBI files and the illustrations display perfectly.

When I use a later version of FBReader (0.10.7) on the ADV3500PC to read the same file, the illustrations are not available but the information at http://www.fbreader.org/ indicates there is full support for non-DRM MOBI files.

When I use MobiPocket Reader on the ADV3500PC, the illustrations display properly.

The example I'm using is the illustrated version of Treasure Island in MOBI found at http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/27780.

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks in advance.
