While you're correct about AportisDoc books, the Peanut Press books are
NOT AportisDoc books. So that solution won't work.

I'm afraid there is NO way to do what you're after (besides, the Peanut
Press books ARE copy protected...the ones you pay for, anyway.)

Incidentally, Steve Weyer also has a Newt's Cape plug-in to convert Palm
Doc books (AportisDoc).
