I've been using 4.8 and it's cool.

One question, am I doing something wrong or is it inevitable that when I upgrade Mobipocket, I'm going to have to register a new PID (possibly reset one because I've had too many) and re-download my books?

[Guest Mobipocket]

If you didn't uninstall the previous version, you won't have to change your PID and re-download your eBooks.

By the way, the new version works perfectly with the Samsung i600. I could never get the earlier version to work.

eNews are eBooks periodically updated on your PC and sent on your PDA/Smartphone.

See presentation:

http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eNews/default.asp

The eNews Creator program helps you to create eNews channels.

The Web Companion is the Repository where you can subscribe to more than 500 eNews. This software updates the eNews channels on your PC.

The Mobipocket Reader reads the generated eNews on your PDA/smartphone.

Can this reader open MS LIT ebooks

Has anyone got enews working with this properly yet?

On version 4.7 I resigned myself to the fact that it wouldn't sync enews at all but was happy with the books.

4.8 promised "Improved Microsoft ActiveSync synchronization", but now mobipocket has dissapeared altogether from activesync!

I've tried installing it on both SD and internal memory as that has been suggested, but no luck

Any ideas

Problem about my mobipocket reader is that every time i do a hardreset i got a new PID and i have to redownload my ebooks, and my encyclopaedia and dictionary is quite big to download, and i have to request a new pid from the site.
