eBook Readers - What do you use?

I've tried numerous readers over the years and am currently hooked on uBook from www.gowerpoint.com. I use uBook and also MSReader. What do you guys use?

I counted my ebooks and currently have over 1200! Yikes!
Currently reading 'Split Second' by David Baldacci and 'Digital Fortress' by Dan Brown

Yes, I do read more than one book at a time. I'm also reading two paperbacks. :approve:

Besides using MS Reader, I find that Palm Digital Media's Palm Reader Pro (now renamed to eReader Pro) for PPC to be very interesting and useful indeed. Also, for Chinese ebooks, I prefer TeamOne's Reader (it also has an English version of the reader.)

I am using MS Reader but I am not happy with the text size, being unable to get it small enough...but I am used to Palm Hi-res so what I want may not be possible with the lower resolution screen of the 2210.

That being said, are there are other .lit readers?

ubook is my favourite as well, followed by isilo and e-reader.

Incidently, a new version of ubook (0.8n) has just been released, for those who don't know yet. Grab it at the url in the first post!

As others have said, eReader is by far the best. Its DRM is less intrusive than Microsofts and the book selection is great. :approve:

I have been for the most part using MS Reader. Funny thing is that I don't use it that much. But I will have to look at eReader.

I have only used MS Reader so far. It does what I need it to do so I haven't really looked at anything else.

You have to give it one try. When you see how the DRM works on eReader, you'll never want to go back to anything else.

I have just tried ereader and I could not get it to see my ebooks on my SD card, they are lit files.

I have tried to use Ubook to read my lit ebooks but it just comes up with funny characters.

Are there any others I can try???

Or can I convert my lit ebooks to something Ubook can read.

Cheers Choc :bang:

I use the MS Reader. In fact, I have converted other MS Word doc's into the MS Reader format...that way I've got the info at my fingertips!

MS Reader is the only application that can read the Lit format as far as I know. Where uBook excels is that it reads just about all the formats... The only thing that I don't like about uBook is the menu. It can be confusing for a lot of people to use.
