If you have registered your eBookwise and perhaps already downloaded some commercial ebooks through www.ebookwise.com, www.fictionwise.com or www.filamentbooks.com/, then there is a world of freely-available .imp ebooks awaiting you here ...

And welcome to MobileRead.com (the .IMP way!)

General/Hardware Device

IMP software wiki

If you are just getting started, then check all the programs that handle/manipulate/convert the .imp format in our wiki i.e. IMP software

There are several ways to transfer .imp ebooks to the reader and most are listed in our Poll on the subject entitled: How do you get new content onto your eBookwise 1150 / REB 1200?

eBook Publisher

eBook Publisher from ETI (windows and mac) creates .imp ebooks but doesn't transfer them to the reader. The software also includes a .imp viewer (perfectly previews .imp ebooks on the computer) and Bulk Convert program (to convert many .doc/.rtf/.ppt/.oebff to .imp/.oebff)

Also available from ETI, is RB2Project that converts Rocket/REB1100 .rb ebooks to .imp/.oebff ebooks.

Impserve/Lit2b/Mobi2IMP/PDFRead

Be sure to install Impserve which primarily transfers .imp's to the reader and can be found here along with my impserve plugins and mini-tutorial. You may want to refer to the post, Easy setup instructions for converting certain files to .imp, about getting the secondary programs (Lit2sb, Mobi2IMP and PDFRead) quickly installed.

eBookwise/GEB Librarian

EDIT: Oct. 2010 - this software is no longer available for sale either by breeno.org or www.ebookwise.com. In it's place ETI has introduced http://my.ebooksystem.net/, a supplement to their Personal Content Server that can now deliver .imp ebooks directly to your Online Library for later download to your device from your computer. Thanks to lvd4 for this tip!

The eBookwise Librarian and the GEBLibrarian are the same software by the same developer; just sold differently. Some common issues:

Getting .IMP ebooks onto the reader

Have a look at our eBookwise Poll on this predicament

. There are now many ways to accomplish this, namely:

Impserve (description and link and plugins)
eBookwise/GEB Librarian (description and link-EBW and link-GEB)
ETI Personal Content Server (description and link)
Smartmedia (SM) card reader (usually part of those All-in-one PC usb card readers)

A good summary of these transfer methods can be found in this post How to get me converted books to my reader!!]

THE END

This will be a FAQ of sorts and will be updated to add member contributions and that future wiki link!
