Question ThumbsUp Starbuck Reader

I've been using Starbuck as a simple .txt reader since my Cassiopeia days - 7 ppcs and 2 Axims ago - and it is barely functional on my x50. I'll have my x51v in under a week, and I'd love to hear of another reader that is as clean and sleek that will be compatible with WM 5. I like the optional black background and the smaller fonts available using SB. Since it seems ThumbsUP isn't writing for the newer CE's, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks -

Chriss

I use iSilo exclusively.

Download the demo and use 'Free Mode', which will do everything you need for reading text files, including automatic bookmarking when you close your book etc.

And, of course, what thread about ebook readers would be complete without someone mentioning ubook?

It does straight text, plus a lot of other formats, and, I am told, works with WM5. You can change background and text colors and use any font in your Windows/fonts folder.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Have pretty much settled on uBook. I love the customization options, and skinability.
