Mobipocket site still down
Posted by gasusan2005 on 08/20/07 in The Internet
Mobipocket site has been down since Wednesday, August 15. For those who use the site for reading and purchasing ebooks, this outage may have hit you hard, leaving you stranded bookless.
From Mobipocket:
NOTICE: A major problem occurred with the Mobipocket DRM server at about 6:30 PM Eastern Time, Wednesday, August 15. Engineers at Mobipocket.com have informed us that they hope to be back online sometime this weekend, August 18 or 19. We have switched, where possible, all Secure Mobipocket files purchased during the downtime to an alternative DRM provider, Content Reserve. We have also taken all titles that could not be switched offline in Mobipocket format until the problem is resolved.
So, at this point in time, any Secure Mobipocket title you see onsale can be downloaded immediately. Titles that cannot be downloaded immediately have been temporarily taken offsale in the Secure Mobipocket format.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and we will post a new message when the problem is resolved.
Fictionwise has secure mobipocket ebooks (as well as Adobe reader, MS Reader, and Palm reader).
