Get already purchased ebooks on mobipocket onto iphone reader

I purchased a library full of books from mobipocket before I bought the iphone. I used to read my ebooks on my PDA via Mobipocket Reader. Must I give up this library? Are there specific directions for getting these books onto my iphone?

Are you asking whether you

Are you asking whether you can take books you purchased for your Mobipocket and put them on Stanza on your iPod? Unfortunately, the answer is "no", at least at this time. Mobipocket files are locked to that device using digital rights management (DRM) techniques, and they are not permitted to be read on other devices.

We are researching a number of solutions to the DRM issue, and we hope to have an announcement to make about it in the near future.

update

Any news for the Mobipocket readers for the iPhone?

Got to Mobipocket Forums

I suggest you read the Mobipocket forum (http://www.mobipocket.com/forum/index.php). Thats "read" - the answers are all there.

Apart from that - DRM has already been mentioned - so why have you not googled for "Remove DRM Mobipocket"?

Do that and you know the answer to you main question: Depends which country you live in, which government you elected. If you live in a country where stripping DRM is legal you are lucky. If not vote "Pirate Party" next time.
