Without having tried anything and knowing what I talk about: could it work if you copied the ebooks to one of your memorycards, and then 'install' them from the Garnet VM interface, just like real Palm-applications?

You do know that fbreader supports non-drm'ed mobipocket books, right?

Installing the .prc e-books worked.
So far as I can tell, MobiPocket Reader now works as it should.
If only there was a 640x480 (or 800x480) option.

A couple of screenshots from MobiPocket Reader under Garnet VM. E-book from MobileRead.

Its good to see that I'm not the only one (or the first) who immediatly thought of installing mobipocket reader on the Garnet VM ... in fact, for me personally, it's the only real reason I care that Garnet has been setup as a VM.
This wasn't explicitly said in the thread yet, but has anyone fully tried some of the DRM'd ebooks, just to make sure?
I hate DRM as much as the next guy, but the one place that I still just accept it and move-on is with ebooks .. mostly because I find it so convenient to just have the with me, and buy them over the air (I use mobipocket on my N95 all the time, and have on all my S60 devices).
Thanks for being the guinea pig!

I have not used a Palm "device" before, but the .prc files are DRM-free and are readable by Windows MobiPocket Reader.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
In general, what does Garnet's filesystem layout look like?
