Cant read eBooks on eReader
Hi all,
Has anybody gotten any luck reading user loaded eReader files to their BlackBerry Storm or BlackBerry device. From the FAQ all one has to do is copy the file over to the correct directory on the BB and the application should load the eBook. Yet I cannot see the book When I start the eReader application on the blackberry I get an error message "Error synchronizing the book list with the filesystem" Any suggestions Thank you in Advance, =X= Last edited by =X=; 03-29-2009 at 05:58 PM. |

My experience is that you won't be able to start (or use) the eReader application while the blackberry is USB connected to the computer. Your error might be the result of that. |

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I missed this thread when you entered it and you were quite helpful to me in another. I do have eReader installed on my T-Mobile 8800 and have successfully downloaded and opened free and for-fee books from Fictionwise. I have not copied a file to the SD card yet, I'll try that and report. I've also downloaded and installed the eReader Windows software on my home PC and successfully downloaded and opened the same files on my Bb. I haven't experienced the error you report so I'm useless in explaining what you should do to correct it, all I can report is success on my set-up. |

@All4Fun & pking36330
Thanks for the reply. I eventually found the problems. The eReader software does not handle some characters in the filename. I tend to store my books with the filename below. Code:
Lastname, Firstname - Book Title.pdb After I renamed my files to Code:
Lastname_BookTitle.pdb The second problem is that eReader books from manybooks do not seem to work on the storm, I'm not sure why since the PDB books work with their desktop client. =X= |
