I see there is something called microOLAP chm reader for PPC. Does it work well? Is there a better one? This one is $15. Sort of reasonable.

I hate PDFs on the Axim, they just don't work, but chms are sort of in chunks anyway and might work better.

I have one "CHM Reader" that was free though it was built for WM2003. I originally got it when I needed to read a chm file on my X50v though I've used it on a WM5 device now as well.

It's free...give it a shot!

Did you see Menneisyys's overview of CHM readers? He says that the microOlap one is the best. I did try that one out briefly, and even had the entire Embedded Visual C++ documentation loaded on my Axim. It worked well for a week, before I decided to save my eyesight and leave technical documentation for the large screen.

Thanks, I got it. I even belong to that site.

I've got that one and am very pleased with it. I would highly recommend it.

I believe the Mobipocket Reader (free) also reads CHM files.
