sounds like you guys need to familiarize yourselves with the P800's file manager (you can download it from my-symbian).

You need to find where the beamed book files are located (sounds like a bit of a search is needed) and move them to the folder where mobipocket expects to find it.

Yes, the books can be sent by email. Unfortunately, for books that were bought from Mobipocket, you can't open/read them (the ones that you didn't buy) with your Reader because the books are locked to the PID# of your phone which is specific to your phone only. However, you can read "free" books (doc files) that can be downloaded from www.memoware.com

The books are stored in x:\Library where x is the relevant drive letter. It would make far more sense if they were in Media Files\documents\mobipocket, since that way they would be visible to the main file manager. Oh well...

Does anyone have support contact details for mobipocket by the way? There's no support email address on the website, only endless FAQs which don't answer the queries I have. FAQs are a good thing of course, but they should be backed up by real people.

Gang,

Here is what I received this morning from MobiPocket:

We have improved the P800 reader last week on the "beaming" point :
- now you can open the file again and again from the beaming application, no
problem.
- when opening a book from any message (beamed, mailed...), the book is
moved to the library automatically just letting a link in place of the
original book file so that the book is still readable from your message,
while managed by Mobipocket Reader in its own directory.

we are preparing the 4.6 version of reader which will contain this fix, I
post the fixed reader under:
http://www.mobipocket.com/soft/p800/uiqreader_us.sis until the 4.6 is
officially released. for other supported languages replace _us by _fr
(french),_de (german),_es (spanish).

some interesting new feature: support of Unicode books (japanese, chinese,
russian... characters supported when good font is installed)

feel free to post this mail on the forum.


I still can not get rid opf the links/icons in my "Beamed" box. This is really annoying. Looks like I have to borrow a PC, back up my internal memory (why one can't back up to the card is beyond me) do a master reset and then restore. A long way to go just to get rid if sopme icons.

Hello,
yesterday night, after downloading File Manager from my symbia, I manage to have mobipocket working. Had to move the .prc file (the book) from where it is store (have to look for it deping on receiving it by mail, bt, infra-red...) and move it to the mobipocket folder netx to the app. It is not working fine expect that when I turn off the phone and restart it, Mobipocket reader does not remember where I was inthe book and restart it at the first page. Will try that link you've provided us with.
thanks, Jules

Well, the new version works much better, but I still can't get rid of the damn icons from the original version. It really sucks. Especially, because I'm on a MAC and backing up and restoring is NOT a simple process.

A backup and restore is unlikely to help anyway, since the messages would be stored in the backup, and then restored. Sorry...

Yeah, I figured. I'm just going to do a master reset and then rebuild. That VICS player wreaked havoc on my phone anyway. Ugh!

It sometimes is not easy for we MAC users, but we persevere nonetheless.
