    Cross-post (originally posted in 83xx about 30 hours ago) - hoping someone here might know ...

    Mobipocket - downloaded on BB, would sit on "Please wait ..." screen forever. Never opens. Error when exiting. Uninstalled. Reinstalled via desktop. Reboots, batt pulls, etc. Still same problem. Sync'ing cites errors and wants me to install .alx directly but Desktop Manager doesn't find anything to change even when pointed to it. The desktop app saved RSS feeds over to my media card (when I cancelled the error dialogue) but I can't open them since I can't get the software to run.

    Gave up, uninstalled, and tried EReader and have been working on it for three hours now - still no love.

    It installed, but instead of a 'wait' screen, the splash screen appears for half a second and then disappears. I d/l'd one of their free ebooks to test it with, but can't get the software to stay open.

    MORE INFO:
    File free is 43,815,823
    I've uninstalled Facebook app via DM (although the stupid service book is still there and thusly the icon - is it safe to delete the service book?)
    I've installed Mobipocket for the third time and it is still doing the same thing ("Please wait ...")

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    UPDATE:
    Solved it myself.

    FYI for anyone else with this problem, change the default application permissions to allow access to User Files.

    Discovered thx to trying another ebook reader "Shortcover" found here on the Crackberry store that actually told me what was wrong when I tried to run it.
