Encycopedia on the Microsoft Reader???

[kahchong]

Is there any Encycopedias for the Microsoft Reader on the pocket pc?
I would like to have some Encycopedia so that I can find information for my research easily.

Thanks! :D

I would think MS Reader would be too slow for this. Go instead to http://www.tomeraider.com/ and download Tomeraider and look at encycopedias at http://www.memoware.com (difference types and sizes).

MS Reader is nice for books while Tomeraider is nice for lookup material.

One in particular worth checking out with TomeRaider is Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TomeRaider_database).

Wikipedia is also available for Mobipocket. At least I got a German version with a mobile magazine, so there must also be an English version somewhere. At least Mobipocket is free, and it also works on your Symbian phone if you have one (like I do :) ).

Tomeraider indexes the data to enable fast keyword searches. Does Mobipocket do this or does it just show the the file? Or if you don't know: Does it find a given keyword reasonably fast?

Jorgen, I have to admit that I have not gotten around to installing the Mobipocket reader yet - neither on the PPC, nor on my N-gage, which I have been meaning to do for a while. I will try to do it this weekend and post back here.

The version of Wikipedia I found has the alpha search index, and it works well.

Keelinlee, is that an English version you have found? If you still remember where, could you please post a link?

Thanks :)
