Time for another Mobipocket update since I’m happily reading ebooks on my BlackBerry again. Remember I’ve had problems with Mobipocket since their DRM server went down a few weeks ago. The end result of that down time was my Blackberry wouldn’t run the Mobipocket reader so I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it to get it going again. Doing that resulted in the new Blackberry install not being in my Device List on the Mobipocket server so I needed to delete one and add the Blackberry, a feature of the DRM.
That left me with a notice from Mobipocket that I would need them to reset my device list so I could delete the old install and add the new install. That would take them up to a week to do, something I groused about here. Well I am happily reading my ebooks on the Blackberry once again as last night I received notice from Mobipocket that my device list was reset and I could get my new install added. I did that and since I don’t want to read books on the other 3 devices on the list I tried to delete the others so my device list wouldn’t be full. No dice on that as I could only delete one device at a time which means to do that I’ll have to request the list be reset again. It took 8 days last time for Mobipocket to do that so I’ll probably not do that. Maybe I’ll just switch back to eReader.
