BeBook Mobipocket support arrives

Mobipocket support for BeBook is finally here. The BeBook now joins the ranks of the iRex Iliad, Cybook and their re-branded clones to offer support for one of the more popular eReader formats around.

According to earlier posts, all new orders from BeBook will ship with Mobipocket support. Existing owners can upgrade by downloading the software update from BeBook's website, which I expect will be swamped with download requests. The new free update supports RSS newsfeeds as well.

You can download the upgrade from here:

• BeBook update 39.151.878 bytes
• MobiPocket Reader (this version has support for the BeBook; it'll take some more time for Mobipocket.com to update their website as well) 4.271.104 bytes

Mobipocket support gives the BeBook a wider audience, especially for readers who want to use an e-reader for titles bought from e-retailers, or who want to access the thousands of newsfeeds available on the Net.

BeBook pricing remains the same, and is available from BeBook's website.
