read eReader files on MS Reader
How do you get MS Reader to read eReader files??? Do you have a bad link for your PDB files?

All PDB files I click on in the filemanager go into iSilo, so I read eReader files by starting the eReader software.

My choices:

iSilo reader: fastest, good user interface, best compression of all, can do illustrations, good conversion software etc. etc. This is my favourite reader which i have used since it was called ToGo.

MS Reader: Slow and with bad user interface, but the books are presented unbelievably well. Good-looker in other words and I like it. However, it seems to grasp loads of memory and then become slow at least on my 2000 and 2002(?) devices.

eReader: Looks good too but I only read eReader files in it. The conversion software at least used to be very limited, so I stopped using it.

I have not used MobiPocket for years but it was quite nice.

GowerPoint never looked good on my HP-548 and 568 screens (I have not tried it on my latest PPC) and has the worst userinterface I have ever seen. I have tried to learn to like it as I would love to keep all my books as zipped and read them directly to avoid having to store two formats (zip and iSilo format, for exampel). However, I have not tried it for years and won't until they change the UI.

Acrobat is not an ebook reader, but a printing format. No bookmarks either unless they have implemented them in later versions.
