YES, uBook is a terrific program! It even lets you make annotations, comments, bookmarks, highlights, and SAVES them for you in a special file.
My ONLY gripe is that it does not read PDF files. For me it's a problem, since most of the work I do requires reading tons of pdf files. I suppose one can convert PDFs into TXT or RTF or HTML - which I've done, actually, to use uBook, but that won't work with PDFs which are merely scans that haven't been OCRed. Doing that requires ANOTHER step, which just takes too much time.
I've foung Repligo to be useful in this way. In Word, I just send the doc to Repligo on my Axim. In Acrobat, I just print the PDF to Repligo. In nearly all cases, I can re-flow the text so it reads QUITE nicely. PDFs look terrible in Acrobat for PPC - i have issues with tagging and reflowing for some reason - and I CANNOT annotate or mark up docs the way I want to in Acrobat for PPC. Repligo does this VERY WELL - in the next sync, my doc is back on my regular PC, where I can see my new document all marked up. Only trouble so far, I found one PDF which had problems reflowing on my Axim...still looking into this...
IN ANY CASE, uBook is FABULOUS, FREE and BETTER than MSReader, Acrobat for PPC if you are JUST reading, lit, rtf, html, etc. files AND NOT pdfs. I used uBook for quite a while, trying to tweak it and my pdfs, but it was just too much work. Repligo suits me just fine for now. (I did send uBook's terrific developer an email a year ago about that and other specific issues: he's great and fast!).
