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.
No offence taken,

but my train of thoughs about drm schemes and the like

is that once i legally purchase a mp3/ebook i like to think

i can strip it (supposedly) secured feature, for to read

on my many peripherals, whether my pda, my unices boxes,

on even my winxp box.

i feel that these tactics are infriging on my rights and on my property.

polititians who voted on expanding the lenght of copywrite

material have only one motives, and it had nothing to do with

us regular folks.

further alienations such as these so call laws, will only drive

people underground, in fear of the new world order.

i for one have drawned a line in the sand.
