Msreadergirl,
I hate to flame you here, specially since you were brave and courteous enough to expose yourself in public here, but IMO MSReader is one of the most incompetent pieces of garbage software I have ever dealt with and it seems inexcusable since it's software developed by MS for their own platform. Most third party Alfa software is more functional. I have used and tried using MSReader for several years and although it claims to be "FREE", it has been extremely costly in terms of wasted time and frustration. When I first installed in on my Dell Axim X50V and activated it, for some inexplicable reason several of my books would hang or take almost half an hour to open if at all. after one of my ROM updates, I reinstalled it, but this time MS refused to allow me to activate it, since, apparently, I had exceeded my alloted activations. That left me with a library of .LIT books that could not be read on my PDA(at least I could still read them on my PC). Eventually MS upgraded MSReader to resolve the inoperability I had been experiencing. After installing the upgrade, Bill Gates, so kindly allowed me another activation. All this brings me to today where I currently have a version of MSReader that at least somewhat works (within it capabilities with it's incompetent programing). I don't dare upgrade for fear of reliving the nightmares I've had with this product and making my unread books once again useless on my PDA.
My recommendation to others is simply to NEVER buy any book in the .LIT format. There are numerous competent readers out there for other formats.
