Default mobipocket reader and compatability mode

Please Login to Remove!

Hi all,
I read on another thread about the compatibility mode and got an application to behave on my Storm but that fix doesn't seem to be working with the Mobipocket reader that is supposed to be compatible with my BB. The issue is that the keyboard stays on and the program only woks in portrait mode.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get Mobi to behave?

Thanks in advance.

For now you have to live with the keyboard hogging up half the screen. Mobipocket is working on a storm version of their reader but it took them until the week of Christmas before they even said anything on their forums about that issue.
You have to rely on the keyboard controls for now.

Having the keyboard and being stuck in the portrait mode is very common with legacy 3rd party apps. You just have to live with it until a Storm version comes out. 73

Mobipocket has a beta version out for the storm. there are a few known issues and they are working on them. Please remember it is a beta issues so don't expect it to be perfect. But at least it is built for use of the whole screen. I had to delete my old version toget the beta to work.

Default Mobipocket beta for Storm

it works pretty well. A couple of issues with the search button but I already bought a book and downloaded several free books. I like it and it looks as good as my wife's iTouch Stanza book reader. Very nice.

The new beta of mobipocket does not use the whole screen, it forces you to use portrait mode and keeps the keyboard on the screen

Not true in my case. It works in full screen just like the iPhone.

I just downloaded it again and it looks like they updated the version number on the beta from last time i tried it. You are correct, it doesn't do it anymore. It's full screen on mine too.
