I get quite a few ebooks from Baen ( https://www.webscription.net/default.aspx )

They get the whole DRM issue and that is why I buy a LOT from them.

Mostly decent sci-fi and such... Also have a rather decent free library.

In addition to the already mentioned:

http://manybooks.net/ (lots of free ebooks)

http://www.ebookmall.com/ (many without any DRM, check the notes and never choose the Palm format)

I have sofar restricted myself to PDF, HTML, text and/or Microsoft Word. I was planning on experimenting with Microsoft *.LIT format, to see if they can be decrypted with AmberLIT, but I have yet to find a sufficiently interesting bargain (I'm a cheapskate) to experiment with.

From what I've read, Mobipocket ebooks are reasonably easy to copy to other devices.

Hi,

I like this project but lack of PDF support. Somebody knows when PDF will be full supported with graphics.

Regards,

I upgraded to 8.11. The ebook I was reading (in .pdb format) lost it's page ,which I kinda knew was going to happen. Not really a big problem, just go back to the correct page.

The problem, though, is that the page counter (lower right next to time) isn't working anymore. It counts to five and goes back to 1.
Also, there's no more formating, no more indents, no more carriage returns, no more paragraphs.

Anybody got the same issue?

I upgraded to 8.11 without problem. And my current book reopened to the same page.
