Hi Crusader,

Wow thanks for that man, much appreciated!!! Shame not all of those books come in a nice format for my 505 lol. Will see if I can nick my relatives address lol.

Let us know how it works out. In rare cases you might have to do a verification before being able to download the file.

All you need to do then is use a proxy (Hidemyass works) and download it for the first time. After that it downloads normally.

Thats a pretty good idea. But if you do a site then you might end up being a target of "copyright infringement", maybe(?). I know most eBooks say you can't sell them. Would swapping them fall into that category. I mean to us no but to some itchy ass lawyer? Or some stank publisher? Or a cranky ass author?

Having a site would mean you are putting yourself out there for all to see. So it wouldn't be a bad idea (actually its a good idea). I am working on an eBook site now and if I can get some decent legal advice I might just add that into the sites function.

But decent legal advice would = "no you could not be sued or brought up on charges for copyright enfringment". Verse not so good legal advice "hmmm, well I don't think so....nah you probably wouldn't".

I will look into it.

Hey quick question about getting this series. I now know how to get them off Fictionwise by using a US address etc but could you do the same thing with Mobipocket? Or is there some other way to do it with Mobipocket? Would using Hidemyass.com help?

Thanks.

Unfortunately the only shop I have personal experience in is with Fictionwise. I don't know if a similar workaround exists for Mobipocket.

I have now two books in my FW library which I can only download with hidemyass. Even though I downloaded them earlier, I still can't download them normally.

That's strange. The ones I had to download via Hidemyass are now available for normal download. Have you tried logging out and back in?

Thanks for the info, I might just try it on mobipocket and cross my fingers. Just hope I don't bugger it up and loose my books i have on there lol.
