You can manually transfer downloaded e-news from your PC (data folder in program file) to the e-books folder on your SPV.

Not ideal but it works.

Well I give up :)

I can see Mobipocket as a Mobile Device in the Microsoft Activesynch options and I can even tick the box to enable it. The problem is when I attach the SPV as it automatically disables the Mobipocket as a device again .

Maybe Mobipocket not being recognised in the SPV as a synch option ?

Is anyone else still havng problems ?

[Guest idavid]

i have the exact same symptoms. bloomin' annoying! would really like this to work as it would be like killing two birds with one stone. the ebook bird and the avantgo bird that is...

What is this Mobipocket Reader thing actually? :roll:

[Guest idavid]

its an e-book reader, with the added functionality of e-news, which regularly downloads news from certain sites that you can specify while your phone is hooked up to your computer to view on the move later. only e-news doesnt actually work... :cry:

[Guest Animefan]

Where do you get these eBooks? And what is they ? :oops:

[Guest idavid]

they are 'electronic' books. for mobipocket you need to download them from www.mobipocket.com

you can also get other ebook formats, such as .txt which are available at www.blackmask.com these can be read with something else, like orneta reader.

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Has anyone contacted MobiPocket about the enews not actually working?

That's what I wanna use it for ;-)

[Guest idavid]

i have. awaiting response. will let you all know if i hear anything. hope they speak good english as i dont speak french! :)

[Guest cyrilthefish]

doh! i wanted to use this software for my existing ebooks. But it seems like it doesn't support the microsoft reader format (.lit) :)

any idea if microsoft are planning a smartphone version of microsoft reader?

[Guest goinnuts]

copy then paste them into notepad if you can, then publish them. once youve done that it reads them no probs.

[Guest idavid]

finally got a response from mobipocket about the lack of enews working. i asked them if they knew there was a problem and if they could fix it. their response...

Hi Ian,

We corrected this isssue, but it still requires the SPV to be unlocked.

Please reinstalled everything from :

http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/...ReaderStep1.asp

Kind regards,

Mobipocket Support Team

i gave it a try but without any success. in fact i dont think they have changed the software at all. i am pretty sure the download is exactly the same as it was before. they definately havent upgraded the verison number, or anything sensible like that.

if anyone else has any luck, let me know.... :?

[Guest nixy]

itns ot on, is it mate!!!.

I have been following your thread about MobilePocket as I too am interested in the news option.

Its nice of them to reply but I dont understand why they have indeed done nothing to sort out the software. We tried re-downloading but its exactly the same file.

Makes one wonder what they are up to doesnt it

[Guest idavid]

another little tidbit from mobipocket...

Hello,

We are currently investigating this issue with not being able to sync enews

even though the phone is unlocked, which appears to be due to an instability

in the Smartphone 2002 OS. We hope to provide an update as soon as possible.

Synchronisation of enews by email on the other hand, works on all phones.

maybe something will happen one day :roll:

[Guest Overheat]

Sorry if this is a stupid question for you people but I'm a bit of a n00b in this business:

I can't seem to remove MobiPocket from my phone. Is there an easy way to do it besides using ActiveSync or is it just un-uninstallable?

Cheers.

[Guest MoRFLeZ]

On your SPV

Programs // Settings // More... // Remove Programs

Should work...
