I cannot get it to sync eNews to my CF card. It keeps syncing to iPAQ file store, which doesnt have enough free space. If I uncheck sync to memory card, it syncs to main memory and from there I move it to the CF card. I'd rather make it automated like AvantGo, so I dont have to worry about it.

Any ideas? :?

There used to be a file called mobibookdirs.exe on mobipockets web site that allowed one to chose the download directory in the handheld.
It worked with v4.7, but the link I had to it is broken
You may be able to use a registry editor to find the default download directory and change it. Mobipocket reader is syncing to the 1st [/code]

Thank you for the idea. I did find it in the registry.

The keys are in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MobiPocket.com\MobiPocket Reader\

Here you can change the eBooks and eNews directory.

I changed both:

Bookshelf name, changed value from \eBooks to \CF Card\e-Books

News stand name, from \eNews to \CF Card\eNews

All works! 8) Thank you.

P.S.: I guess MobiPocket 4.8 was supposed to automate the process, meaning eliminate the .exe file you are talking about. However, obviously it doesnt quite work the way its supposed to.
