Those are issues relating to the beta version of the MobiPocket Desktop Reader failing to see the Gen3 as a "reading device". AFAIK, nobody who has simply copied DRM-d books directly to the Gen3 has had any difficulty at all.

My apologies, Irene, I must have overlooked your post. Have you checked to see that the PID is correct? I'm sure there must be a simple explanation for it - I've copied half a dozen DRMd books and they've all worked fine.

There are several people having problems with DRMd books on the Cybook. As far as I can tell all of them are related to timed books from libraries. I don't think I've seen anybody having problems with books they've actually purchased. |

Presumably that's a consequence of the fact that the Gen3 doesn't "sync" with a PC, and hence has no mechanism for setting its real-time clock to the correct date and time? I'm sure you've noticed that any file that the Gen3 creates itself (eg the ".mbp" files which store your position in a book) end up with a seemingly random timestamp in early January 2007?

You've obviously looked closer than I have. It is going to be the first thing I do when I get home though. |

I'm sure the libraries are paying for the e-book, they just lend it out without cost to the borrower. I wonder how good a deal e-books are for libraries, e.g. vs a physical book. They probably are not paying the same price for the e-book as we do for a version tied to a single owner.

Looking at the actual books available, it's very minimal. The only extensive section is the classic literature section - many of the rest have less than 10 books available. And those seem to be many of the books that look like they're out of print, so it's a form of remarketing them. Still, it's a step in the right direction. |

Oh dear. I hope they get that fixed because that's a large part of why I was considering the Cybook.

http://overdrive.bpl.org/ http://dlc.clevnet.org/ I got one of the discworld books from BPL. I haven't been able to read it on the Cybook yet though, for the reasons discussed previously. |
