Read online?

Can I read my books through the Mobipocket website? Without having software on my device?

I have Archos 7 arriving next week and want to read a book I purchased through mobipocket.

The only web interface to DRMed content I am aware of is eBook.com's "eb20" service, see Reader Help. This isn't widely advertised, and does not seem to support Opera (for the Archos 7).

I don't have a Archos tablet, but your best bet is to strip the DRM (if any), using mobidedrm, and then convert to HTML. I use Calibre's mobi2oeb command to do this, with an empty directory as the output target. You will get a single HTML file plus images. Then, as lschiedel says in html ebook to pdf? on archosfans.com forums:

Why convert?
Just put it in a folder of its own inside the data folder.
Then go into tools and files and open the first html page.

I have tons of ebooks from baenbooks.com in html form and they work great.

As the forum question implies, the other option is to convert the HTML to PDF.
