Yeah, that's what it looked like. That seems just (a bit) completely dishonest. If you can read the sample you should be able to read the purchased product! If I'm not going to be able to read the purchased product make it so I can't read the sample either! /end rant>

So, thanks for the response. Is the python programmer route the only way to achieve my goal? Or am I destined to read that book on my computer and never buy another book from mobipocket again.
