PRC Files

I built a book in Mobi Pocket Creator, but I cannot read the prc file that it made. Any ideas why?

Will the Windows MobiPocket Reader read it?

I have no idea, I don't have Windows MobiPocket Reader, but I will download it now and try

Ok. I downloaded mobipocket reader and was able to open my prc file, and my book looks absolutely horrible. The text is all whacky, there are pages with wingding symbols on them etc. The whole thing is a mess. HELP!!

Jules,

What sort of file did you build fro?

JSWolf · 07-29-2008, 05:10 PM

Where did you get your source file from and what format is it?

It is clear the he was working from a poor-quality source file. Also, he wasn't using an emulator to see the results of the edit. It's a GIGO situation.
