Mobipocket 5.1 problem
Anyone else having problem with Mobipocket 5.1? I upgraded from 5.0 to 5.1 last night and has to softreset my x51v six times already due to Mobipocket kept freezing on me as I was scrolling through pages in a html file (use Mobipocket because I can book mark the document). This happens with 5.0 as well but not nearly as often.

I upgraded as well but haven't seen any problems like you're describing at all... I convert everything to pdb or prc so could it be the html parser in Mobipocket? Or, is there a chance it's the particular file?

peace,

Mike

I haven't had the problem... but then again I don't use it to read HTML files.

Looks like it's the html parser as other file formats are fine. The html parser wasn't good to start with in 5.0 but 5.1 seems worse. Does anyone know a good html reader that allows both full screen and bookmark?

You could try uBook.

I don't see the free version of Mobipocket Reader anywhere. The one thats there is the Pro version I believe. Is the Pro free now? Anybody know what happened?

I've been evaluating MobiPocket for a couple of weeks. I'm sure glad I hadn't yet registered.

To be honest, I find the user interface klunky, especially file searching.
