I don't know the details.

All I know that when I showed my brand new sony reader to him, he told me that his wife is subsribed to online library where she can read online book for a certain fee for a limitited period of time. That she is reading books on their plasma TV

I did check out one of the Discworld books from Overdrive via the Boston Public Library. Whoever did the conversion really made a mess of the footnotes.

You get an * as the footnote number and then it takes you to a page with footnotes with * so you have to know which one goes with the * you came from. Plus it's very easy while looking for the appropriate footnote, it's easy to see the others (and get maybe spoiled). Plus, there is no link to go back. So unless Mobipocket has a go back feature, you either have to go to the page are play around trying to find where you were. What a mess.

I'm converting it to LRF using Book Designer and putting in proper footnotes.

I wonder if there is a way to send corrections like that back to MobiPocket for inclusion in a future version. There are way too many errors in published ebooks.

The Cybook has a back button that would work. Of course, it can't read library books at the moment and Aenea's(sp?) conversion tool strips out the links.

This was a DRM-laden PDF?

@ Alisa: AFAIK, all the Discworld books are DRM'd.
