Welcome to the GEB eBook Librarian FAQ Page

• I have windows vista, and I can't download books - it shows the error:

Error opening\creating HOSTS fileerror=<5>

In windows explorer, right-click on the file: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. and click Properties > Security tab > Edit Permissions Change "Users" to all rights by checking all the boxes.

• When the Librarian comes up, it gives me an error message:

Error occurred while initializing listening socket, eBook connection failed. (is a web server running on this computer?

Double check to make sure Microsoft Internet Information Server or other web server software is not running on your computer while the eBook Librarian is running. Some Spy-Ware removal tools (Ad Subtract, etc) can also take over Port 80 on your computer -- shutting down these applications while running the librarian should solve this type of problem.

• I can download your sample eBooks to my device, but when I try to open them I get the error message:

This book cannot be read on this eBook. Please remove it and check out another copy from your library.

The firmware in your eBook may need to be upgraded to the latest version (v3.3 for GEB 2150, REB 1200, and REB 1150 models and V2.0.305 for the REB 1100) to allow your eBook device to view unencrypted content. Once you have connected to the Gemstar servers (via telephone or other means) and upgraded your device, download a copy of the "eBook User's Guide" from the Online Bookshelf to make this new setting stick.
