I just downloaded the latest version of uBook from
www.gowerpoint.com, and it is FANTASTIC !!!
Anybody not familiar with uBook ... it lets you read eBooks on your PPC in multiple formats, including .TXT .RTF .HTML and also Palm formats .PDB and .PRC
One of the best features, is it can read ebooks which are in zipped (compressed) format. You can just load the .ZIP file onto your PPC, and uBook will read directly from the zipped file.
The zipped file will take up signficantly less space (50% or less) than the original uncompressed ebook file, so you can load more ebooks onto your PPC.
The other really great thing about uBook which makes it 1000 times better than MS Reader, is uBook has an unbelievable amount of options for changing the display such as:
(1) Many different skins are available for free download.
(2) You can view eBooks in Portrait or Landscape format.
(3) You can set the font sizes, font types, font colors, background color, line spacing, and lots more.
After using MS Reader's one available format (.LIT), and then playing with uBooks many input different formats ... there is no comparison. uBook is the winner by far.
And there are lots and lots of free .TXT format eBooks available at places like
Project Gutenberg.
And it is simple to convert most documents into a .TXT format. Practically every word processor can save documents as .TXT files.
There is also a Desktop version of uBook also available for free download, so you can read your ebooks on your PC as well as your Pocket PC.
Give uBook a try.
You will be very happy you did !
Pus it's freeware !!! :)
