Hello Again, Thanks to all. I knew it was spam or possibly something much worse containing a worm or virus but I have good McAfee protection against those. I still want to know what kind of device a Mobipocket is. Can anyone describe it as I would love to take a readable book with me when I take the train to various places in Miami or wait for what seems forever on the platform. Do any of you use them?
