Did you get ereader working? I just did this this last weekend. It was a nuisance. I think these following steps are what I did; the memory had been thankfully receding before reading your post. The download zipped file from ereader seems to be three programs' components jumbled into the one zipped file. Yes, the first times I installed ereader, it couldn't find the books.
Since I wasn't sure how many program versions existed, this is what I did:
1. Downloaded and unzipped the ereader files
2. moved the zipped files into a folder of my own, named ppc ereader files
\ppc ereader files
BookInstaller 92 kb application
eReader 1,335 kb windows installer package
Ereader.PocketPC 2003 and 2003SE 1,215 kb winzip file
eReader.PocketPC WM5 1,216 kb winzip file
readme 01 3 kb text document (1st
readme)
readme 02 3 kb text document (2nd
readme)
readme 03 4 kb text document (3rd
readme
setup 76 kb application
utildll.dll.ppc300.arm 6 kb arm file
utildll.dll.ppc300.mips 7 kb mips file
utildll.dll.ppc300.sh3 6 kb sh3 file
(I think this was all that was in the folder when I started-- right now, there are three additional files: reame 01 (1).arm, readme 01 (2).mips, and readme 01 (3).sh3)
By this time, I had identified that I had 2003SE on the axim. I made two subfolders:
Pocket PC 2000, 2002 file folder
Windows Mobile 2003, 2003SE, 2005 file folder
I unzipped eReader.PocketPC 2003 and 2003SE.zip into Windows Mobile 2003, 2003SE, 2005. I changed to that subfolder, and ran the eReader Windows Installer Package from there. That time, when it ended, I had on the axim:
\program files
Peanut Press file folder
eReader program was in the Peanut Press subfolder. The My Documents folder on the Axim had the subfolder Peanut Press. Then, on the PC, I clicked START > Programs > BookInstaller. When it asked, I installed an unsecured .pdb ebook on the main storage of the Axim. Book in bookshelf, book accessible. Then I installed a secured .pdb ebook on the main storage of the Axim. Book in bookshelf, book accessible once the DRM code was entered when asked for. All okay. Then I put in an old 64mg mmc card...
I THINK I had to use ActiveSync Explore option to remove the Peanut Press folder and its contents from the MY DOCUMENTS folder on the main storage of the axim, to create a MY DOCUMENTS folder on the storage card. Then I ran BookInstaller and told it to install the book on the storage card. That worked. I've been reading for two days. (being laid up and housebound does give one more reading time than usual)
It has been years since I installed ereader on my trusty Palm IIIxe, but it doesn't seem to have been such a PAIN to install there. Perhaps part of the problem was that these were the first things I ever tried to install on the Axim.
This finally worked. Yes, I've really liked the trial version of eReader pro that I've been using. It lets me put the fonts very large, and the type is very clear.
Haven't tried to install MobiPocket on the Axim yet.
