Alright, my Internet searching has come up empty, so I am bringing my newbie problem here. Sometimes when I create an .imp file in eBook Publisher, the program generates a key file (BookName.key) along with the .imp file. I can load the book onto my EB1150, but some books created this way will not open. I get an error message about needing to check the book back out, or something along those lines. Again, it's strange because some books work fine this way while others fail. I've tried both standard methods of uploading the book: impserve and direct copy (of both files) onto the Smartmedia card.

So, what am I doing wrong, and is there any way to get eBook Publisher to generate an .imp file without a .key file? Have I accidentally turned on some kind of library-book timestamp in eBook Publisher? Thanks all for any help.
