I need another mobipocket reader
Can anyone recommend a free mobipocket reader please? I need one which does not accept DRM so that I can test whether I have successfully removed DRM from my ebooks.
I know of
Regards, Alex |

calibre can view mobipocket files, but only non-drm. that might work for your purposes.

Hi Alex,
I am developing a new reader for Win Mobile which is free of DRM. It uses rtf files so if you have removed the DRM on your books you can google a converter to convert them to rtf files and use ZuluReader. If you are interested you can download it here www.zuluexpress.com/software . My site is still very much under construction at the moment as I am concentrating on development of ZuluReader itself. I am very keen for some people to try it out and give me some feedback. Cheers, Steve(ondabeach) |

Ooops, I should have tested that link first. Go to my home page www.zuluexpress.com and follow the software link at the bottom.

I'll go back to see if there is a read application without the conversion part. Regards, Alex |

No worries Alex, good luck with the googling. If I hear of anything I'll let you know.
Cheers, Steve. |

Why not just open the book in Mobipocket on a computer/PDA that does not have a registered PID with Mobipocket? If the book opens, then the DRM is gone; if the book doesn't open, then it still has DRM in it. This is how I check.

If the book is encrypted, you'll see "PID encrypted" on this screen; if the book is not encrypted, you'll see "non encrypted" on the screen. |
