Silly question (and I know I sound like a Microsoft cheerleader) but what do you all have against MSReader?

I only ask because I'm doing the opposite of all of you and I convert all of my TXT, DOC, HTM, and PDB files into LIT files.

MSReader is free...
It runs just fine from BIS...
If it's pre-installed in ROM then it takes no storage space at all...
The LIT files are typically smaller so there's an other space savings...

Besides lacking an auto-scroll function, what is the big complaint that makes it worth paying for and installing an alternative?

No offense intended... I'm really wondering.
