Two Things on new MS Pocket Reader from MS Reader egroups by Gary Merinstein
* I believe MS' "official" position du jour is that it will be released at the end of Q2 2001,so they still have a few days left to go. I asked for an update for the release of MS Reader 1.5+ for the PocketPC to handle DRM5. I was told that they were told that the "official" release is currently set for the Fall 2001...go figure. The relayed information was given to Gary Merinstein verbally without written confirmation
* I have an MS Premier service account and I called in a few weeks ago to help a customer reinstall MSReader on his laptop following a hard disk replacement. Apparently ithe Passport servers are incapable activating more than two MS Reader PC installations per email account used to create the Passport (what? you didn't know about that? MS doesn't talk about it much, but the Passport servers will only activate MS Reader a maximum of 2 times per email address regardless of which DRM level you require, and there is currently no way to reset the counter on the Passport servers. Once you hit the limit, you have to create a new Passport, with a new email address, and get your DRM5 ebooks re-activated for the new Passport....fun, huh?)
Thanks to Gary Merinstein for sharing the information.
