However, not all of the books that I had purchased are available. Possibly as time goes on they will convert all their books, but it seems odd that they would not include the older DRM scheme in their new software for backwards compatibility.

Anyone else have the same experience or am I doing something wrong.

Thank you.
When you installed 3.1, did you upgrade whatever the previous version was? I have LRX files that 3.1 handles fine. But when I installed 3.1, it was an upgrade to the registered copy of eBook Library.
