OverDrive Discontinues Support Of Secure Mobipocket

OverDrive, the ARe supplier for secure Mobipocket content, has announced that in an effort to streamline the user experience and as a result of the continued expansion and adoption of EPub (both the non-secure Open eBook and Secure Adobe EPub), the Mobipocket format is being discontinued. ( background )

What you need to know:
As of November 7, 2011 Secure Mobipocket formats will no longer be available for purchase on the All Romance/OmniLit websites.

According to our terms of agreement, files should initially be downloaded within 72 hours of purchase. Therefore we can not guarantee availability of any Secure Mobipocket downloads after November 10, 2011.

Secure titles that have previously been downloaded may still be available for download for a period of time in your library past the November 10, 2011 date if the publisher chooses to continue to offer this convenience. NOTE: This could change at any point in time after November 10 on a book by book basis. The continued appearance after November 10 doesn't guarantee that the title will be available for download indefinitely. Nothing will be supported after the December 31 deadline.
