Hi

PDF's can be viewed on the PocketPC. There is a free version of Acrobat Reader for the PocketPC. What device do you have - I'll try and find the link for you. I use the PDF viewer on my iPAQ 3850 to look at A3 technical drawings and it is impressive. It will also read PDF documents.

I believe www.ansyr.com would satisfy your needs although expensive, very good at what it does

As far as I know, Adobe Ebook files are PDF files. That being said, there is no "Adobe Ebook Reader" for any PDA, it is a desktop application only...

Here is the URL:
