What about Tome Raider? I just started using this, and like it far better than MS Reader. I think it's a newer version (3?).
Does anyone else think it is decent? Or should I try other programs for my needs.
The thing is, I don't want to carry more than 1 (well 2 if you count Adobe) readers. TR seems to be decent. The only thing is that you now have to convert all of the TR files to "TR3". But it only takes a few seconds to do that.
I think that most everyone would agree that Adobe is probably the worst reader. I like being able to read over .pdf files if I need to. But if the wordwrap doesn't format right for a file then forget it. Talk about instant migrane! It is also so FAT! 7-8 megs for a reader is a little bloated to me.
You can delete all the stuff in \plugins, totalling 2.7Mbyte - very rarely (if ever!) will you need it.
BTW, on a VGA device, I find Adobe Reader pretty cool. So far, I've used RepliGo on my QVGA devices (3660, 2210) because of two reasons:
1, there're no decent PDF -> anything converters. Something is always lost, whatever PDF converter you use.
2, this is, in most cases, the only way to get flowed text.
However, on my new VGA machine, I don't use RepliGo because I don't need reflowed text any more . Adobe is working OK with me.
Since that post, another week has passed by, and I am still waiting to hear from Microsoft. When I attempt to activate my Axim X50v, all I learn is that my request for an additional activation is "pending". I know that considering activiation requests must be low on Microsoft's priority list, but this is highly frustrating. :evil:
I will keep the forum informed of what Microsoft's ultimate decision will be: to require me to stick with old technology forever in order to read ebooks in Reader format that I purchased, or to permit me to update to current technology.
Ever tried this: ***Convert Lit URL removed by mod SJC***? (Now the server seems to be down, though.)
Incidentally, I wrote some 1.5 years ago some additional libraries for Mobipocket's MWC to allow for really cool site downloading & image work. I've also written a lot about different e-book readers.
Please note that the article is unedited and, therefore, has a lot of out-of-order infos, and also that it's a bit outdated. However, with my additional libraries (and a bit of manual tweaking), it is able to download far more types of websites than iSiloX.
I use Microsoft Reader. It may not be the best reader, but the tool that works with Word to create books is easy enough for me to use and that means a lot to me. I've never found Palm ebooks easy to create. And whenever the alternative for free software is offered, that's what I use.

Mobipocket also uses a very simple and easy-to-use plug-ins and standalone creators. And, the app itself is much superior to even the latest version of MS Reader.
Palm Ebook Studio is a really simple program that lets you create palm ebooks (.pdb) real easy.
open the PDF, DOC or RTF file you have, copy and paste into ebook studio. important formattings like italic, bold and tabs are transferred, you can define author, title etc. and you have a perfect palm ebook.
I hit my limit and was denied activation with a Dell Axim X50v. I posted a message to Microsoft on the Activation web page a week ago requesting additional activations (and giving the information outlined below), but I initially received an automated denial, followed by radio silence from Microsoft after I appealed the denial.
In fairness to Microsoft, I thought I should provide an update. This weekend, I decided to try activating my Acim X50v yet again -- and it worked! -- something that did not occur for a few weeks.
I did not receive anything from Microsoft telling me I was allowed more activations (at least to my knowledge).
Bottom line: Microsoft took its time, but ultimately it did listen.
