Yes, but my Palm is mostly for work stuff and MYOB doesn't like Macs  
very much

I meant normal as in the process I usually go through to load Adobe  
pdf books from the library onto my Palm.

This is the third book and the other two I had no problems with at all.

That would be Adobe Reader v7.0?

Yup, that's it.

These aren't the instructions we were given by the library.

According to them you open Adobe Reader v7.0, go to the File menu and  
select Digital Editions/My Digital Editions and then choose your book  
from the cover thumbnails shown. You then click the button 'Send to  
Mobile Device' and it prepares the book for transfer at next HotSync.

Unless that's what you meant.

Unfortunately no, but thanks anyway. It's really mystifying me why  
this is only happening with this one book. Any other of my library  
ebooks will open perfectly using these instructions, it's only this one!
