LateOtt:

The bit that is likely hanging you up is the presence of older litpath.lpt files and .ebo files. This usually happens if you have bulk copied or done a sync with previously read books to your new device. The instructions have to be followed very carefully and in order. First while your device is NOT cradled you must clear all .EBO files and all copies of the hidden file litpath.lpt from your device and storage cards. These files will hold path placeholders to locations that may not exist on your newer device. Then go to your PC (with the device still NOT cradled) and look in your device activesync folder (usually named something like MyDevice_MyDocuments and lives on your desktop) remove all .EBO files and copies of the hidden file litpath.lpt from this directory and all subdirectories as well. Once you have done this soft reset your device and start Reader. This may take awhile as it will need to rebuild your library with the new locations.

In regard to the "not a valid application" error this is a known issue and can be resolved by following these instructions -


1. Install an application like Resco Explorer and when you tap on the file the registry will be repaired for you by answering a series of questions.
2. You can edit the PPC registry via a 3rd party registry tool and edit these entries -

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\eBook\shell\Open\Command\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\eBookEBO\shell\Open\Command\

Inside the string value you will need to add quotes around the path to msreader.exe but NOT %1

If this does not resolve your situation please feel free to reply back and I will do my best to assist you further.

Sincerely,
