I've just upgraded to a Sprint HTC Mogul with Windows Mobile 6.0, and when I
try to activate MS Reader, it says I've got a version older than PPC 2002 or
PPC 2003 which is not compatible.

I can run MS Reader, with non licensed ebooks, but for what I spent money
on, I'm out of luck - is there a workaround for this? Also the
forward/backward arrows are displaying as '3' & '4'... I remember something
like that issue with an earlier upgrade, but not the solution.

My PC is a Toshiba tablet with xp pro.

If you read other posts in this group you'll find that you need to obtain an
OEMinfo.xml file for your device. It appears that the Reader software
shipping pre-installed with a lot of devices doesn't have this file, and
hence the activation process fails. Have you checked to see if there is a
patch from Toshiba to add this? Or have you tried downloading and installing
the Reader installer from the MS site (there's a HTPC version there now).
