OK since the reader is still not working for me I decided to by pass it.

There is a file called "Mobipocket_PID.txt" in the root of your internal memory device.

Code:

The Mobipocket PID of your iLiad is "Y3IGFLMSDF".
You don't need to do anything if you send books
to your iLiad with the Mobipocket Desktop Reader.
Else please add this PID to your online account
before downloading a Mobipocket eBook and copying it to the iLiad.

I used the PID to register my iLiad into my http://www.mobipocket.com account.

Interestingly? They don't have a drop down to select iRex iLiad! You just have to settle for "Other".

I then downloaded my library and got .prc files.

I copied those to /mnt/free/books/Mobipocket

Back to contentLister and I was able to view my ebooks.

The cover art though is showing up as a tiny little thumbnail in the upper left corner of an otherwise very empty screen. Anyone else seeing this?
