I work in IT for a small firm and was assisting someone in trying to put some purchased e-books on their Sony Clie hand held. They had down loaded the files in adobe format so I went ahead and down loaded the most current version of reader because the web site would not even allow a down load if the most current version (6.0) was not installed. Then I went ahead and down loaded reader for Palm, and installed it on the local machine and transferred it to the PDA with no problems. After I had down loaded the ebook through ebooks.com (It activates Adobe 6 through the web site and down load it using the program) I proceeded to "prepare" the file. I didn't have any errors doing that, and everything went fine and it was setup to transfer the file to the PDA on the next hot sync. Then I hot synced it, it was transferred, but when I opened up the file, I noticed that in the middle of some pages, words appeared heavily distorted and were unreadable. As I went through one book, I realized in the book itself, a different language was being spelled, and those characters were getting screwed up. But when I tried a second book, the same thing seemed to occur, regardless of whether or not the writing was meant to be in non-english characters. I am wondering whether an error is occurring in the conversion, the transfer, on the palm adobe software, or if the file itself it corrupted. I deleted both files and re-installed them and the same thing occurred. Note, the majority of the text is fine, but many word and sentences are distorted and unreadable, making it rather pointless to go through a book trying to figure out what it says. If anybody could give me some help on this, I would be very great full. -james-
