Pocket PC Forum / End Users / EBooks / September 2008E-Books to Pocket PC
I downloaded 2 ebooks. Both my PC and PPC ms readers are activated. I copied the two book files to my PPC and they appear in the library. When I try to read either one, I get a message "Microsoft Reader is no longer able to access the book." WTF! >I downloaded 2 ebooks. Both my PC and PPC ms readers are >activated.

Download updated Reader from Microsoft and install, then reactivate If you have an SD memory card in your PPC, check to make sure it's making full contact. Occasionally the contacts get a slight bit of corrosion or whatever, and I find that taking the card out (with your PPC off, of course) and reinserting it sometimes makes the book accessible again. Hope this helps. >>I downloaded 2 ebooks. Both my PC and PPC ms readers are >>activated.

There should be no functional difference with files located on a memory card vs main memory. Could you be referencing a pre WinMobile5 device and a problem with running the main battery dead and loosing all of your main memory? Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] Hi Beverly. A pre-WM5 device, yes. WM2003SE. If you open a book from a card with MSReader, leave it open, and have the power set to switch off automatically after e.g.10 mins, it's as if MSReader isn't notified when the power comes back and consequently its handle to the book goes off into nowhere land, so you mostly get to see another page or two then the error message comes up. Copying the book off the card into 'storage' memory never shows that problem. Doesn't always seem to happen though. I haven't any 'science' to support this - just from observation, really. (The device is a Toshiba E800 - it's been a real treasure) No idea if it can happen with WM5 or 6.

In this case, guessing again, files in ram are going to show up quicker since reader searches there first. Back to your original assumption... the card is probably getting "rediscovered" so, one question would be if you turned it back on, does reader "eventually" find the file? (you may have to touch the screen or press a cursor key to keep it awake long enough) diagnostic questions; Is this an audio book or text? is the book in the card's "My Documents" folder? If it's an audio book, do you still hear the audio after power down? cf or sd card card make/model capacity and total amount of space used. Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices] You get the message "Microsoft Reader is no longer able to access this book" when you are running the old Reader. I suggest you download the full setup for PocketPC and re-install Reader on your device. -sulu >I downloaded 2 ebooks. Both my PC and PPC ms >readers are [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >WTF!
