The web browser should install it to the device straight away. Click on that link, it is the SIS installation file. The fourth link (as this is written) is for “Symbian S60 3rd Edition” and lists a number of phones, ending with the (very old) N93. )Ĭhoose the “Download Mobipocket Reader” link Open up the browser on the N97 and go to the mobile site of Mobipocket (i.e. It says a lot for the ecosystem that Mobipocket can't even pop out a quick update to provide an on-screen escape button just to give some compatibility, but I guess negligent owners Amazon are concentrating on the Kindle devices and iPhone apps. That's enough to turn the app away from a dangerous game of Russian roulette to a 'must install' on my N97. Thankfully the keyboard of the N97 can be brought to your literary aid if you slip into full screen mode, because (simply) it has a star key, even though it's not part of a numeric keypad. The only option was to uninstall the app, reinstall it, and start reading again. Observant 5800 users, like myself, soon realised that there was no * key on the 5800. one slip of a stylus in the menus and the display went to fullscreen mode, which is a good thing in a reader, but the way to come back to somewhere that allowed you to touch softkeys, call up menus and generally interact with the program was to press the * key. To be fair it did run on the 5800, but there was one gotcha. Not built in mind you, and I'm not yet aware of a dedicated S60 5th Edition eBook reader available, but thanks to one addition to the platform, Mobipocket's mature (if not yet updated beyond S60 3rd Edition) book reading platform will run happily on the N97. By know I hope that the regular readers of All About Symbian will realise that I have my hands on the Nokia N97 – in many respect it's a Nokia 5800 with a few extra bells and whistles (like a keyboard) but in one respect it's a significant improvement over the first touchscreen S60 device.
