Format Question
I have a Cybook Gen 3, and I love it to bits, oh yes, precious.
I have had no problem moving across all my Baen books and the oddments that I have purchased from Fictionwise. I use Mobipocket to organise them, because that was the easiest way that I knew of to read on my previous hand held, a palm T3. However, shooting over to Fictionwise for a browse, I notice that some of the books I'd like to buy are no longer offered in Mobipocket format, but in something called 'secure ereader'. Can any one tell me anything about this? Mostly, I guess, I want to know if it is compatible with my Cybook. Thanks in advance, Panin. |

No, you cannot read eReader files on the CyBook

"Secure" means DRM. And the only DRM scheme the Cybook supports is Mobipocket.

thank you for your quick answers!
I don't think that I will be buying much more from Fictionwise then, if they are moving towards the eReader softwear. Which is damned annoying, as I have just bought a year's club membership. Damn! Panin. |

There are always going to be eBooks only in a specific format. It's not that Fictionwise is moving to or away from any format. It's the way it is thanks to the Tower of eBable.

Well, I was looking at some books by Lynne Graham, and decided to buy all 12 that they had.
Check out BooksOnBoard as they have more than 6 of her eBooks in Mobipocket format. http://www.booksonboard.com/index.ph...Lynne%20Graham |
