New eReader for Pocket PCs Available, with VGA Support!
"Our eReader for Pocket PC and Windows Mobile Edition software allows you to read your eBooks whenever you want and wherever you go. You can use eReader to add bookmarks, navigate your eBooks easily, and search for words in your eBook. eReader.com has worked hard to ensure that reading eBooks on your handheld is a pleasure! Our latest release includes support for the latest devices that support VGA! eReader recently won Pocket PC Magazine's Best Software Awards for e-Book readers."
MobileRead has a full list of the new features in v2.61, including:- Added RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation)
- Improved reference book character support
- Dictionary opens with no word selected by default
- Improved Bookshelf scrolling
- VGA and Landscape support
If anyone has time to try it out today, let us know how it works. Strangely, it doesn't seem to be on eReader's site yet... although maybe I didn't see it.

Just installed it. It ?now does cleartype. What is RSVP? Is it some kind of speed reading thing? A real "RSVP" would have been wonderful. Imagine being able to reply to the author of a book while you are reading the ebook to give feedback.

This is eReader Pro. I just donwloaded it and installed it over my older version. The clearer type is great. Just like it was before VGA.
The RSVP and Autoscroll features allow reading without using any controls. It automatically runs thru the book. The RSVP one put 2 or 3 large words at a time in an area at the top of the screen. You can adjust the speed. RSVP is mainly for smaller screens or people with vision problems. I like the autoscroll function although I can see me falling asleep as I read at night and having the whole book scroll by before I wake up!

Just download the trial and install it over your existing software. It will register as eReader pro.

Well this file download from PocketGear is labelled "eReader Pro for PocketPC 2.6.1 (EN).zip" which sounds similar enough to my previous eReader Pro zip filename: "eReader Pro for PocketPC 2.5.2 (EN).zip".
My question is, how come the files inside the v2.61 zip file are dated March 9, 2005, whereas the files inside the v2.52 zip file are dated March 5, 2005?
Was v2.61 for Pocket PC in fact released last month, just 4 days after v2.52 (but if so, how come it still doesn't show up at eReader.com)?

I do not have a "Register" choice under "options". Should I try to reinstall again?
