They told me they will have a fix on Friday or will replace. I think they will email software to try first & if that don't work they will replaced @ their cost.

Problems with Linux and XP; Solutions
Hi!
I have the same problems some of you have, so i tried some things and did mail everything to bookeen... My results so far: Linux: The Cybook is not always recognized correctly Solution: Reboot with Cybook already plugged in, and turned on... XP: With a clean install of Mobipocket Reader 6.1 (Beta-Version) the Cybook is recognised; i had no older versions of the Reader on this Computer Bookeen recomended to charge the reader fully; this might help as well...

This is just wild speculation, but the Cybook doesn't seem to know what the date is and the library books are only unlocked from ex. 7 Nov to 21 Nov. The Cybook wouldn't know it was valid and "Not activated yet" would be a reasonable message. Mike |

Not sure if this is the way it is supposed to work – but it does:-)
When I connect the Cybook and open the Mobipocket Reader the SD card shows as Removable Storage ( E: ) and the Cybook as Cybook Gen3 (F: ) I can send ebooks that don’t have drm to these devices. When I tried to send ebooks with drm, I was able to send, but not to open on the Cybook. I tried to register the Cybook the same way as my PDA – in reading devices. I never got further than “please connect your handheld device”.
I then registered the Cybooks PID at the Fictionwise, Ubiooks and Mobipocket stores and downloaded the ebooks again. I sent (in the mobipocket reader)the ebooks to the Cybook Gen3 (F: ) and am now able to open them I’m still not able to register the Cybook as a reading device in Mobipocket reader |

People have been having this problem. I believe Bookeen has been notified and is working on it. The strangest thing is that I received the v1.0 update and put it on my engineering sample Cybook and have not had this problem at all on my WinXP machine. Strange indeed.

Except for DRM protected library ebooks that are only unlocked for a 2-3 week stretch. They probably have a time component, unless they just trust us to delete it at the end of the loan period. Mike |

Dale, I know how unix time works. There's still no way to set/adjust the time on the Cybook which makes me wonder if it's keeping track of date and time at all. Maybe it gets it from mobipocket's windows software, but that's spotty for now at best.
I'm using Linux and my wife's laptop didn't take the 6.0 -> 6.1 beta when I tried it, so I can't say for sure if the "Not active yet" issue goes away when the Cybook is recognized as a reader. Derek, I don't necessarily intend to get lots of ebooks from the library instead of the store either, but having more options is always a good thing. And since it was my first attempt at using the Cybook for DRM encrypted books I was rather disappointed that it didn't work. |
