which software should I use to read e-book

I know a little about PDA and computer, so it confuses me which software I should use to read e-book, because there are so many formats for them, PDF PDB HTTL XL too many formats. So anyone can tell me just which software you should you, that is ok. don't let me to choice, it is too difficult for me. LOL

Sorry for my poor English : P

I use iSilo.
www.isilo.com
They have a convertor for free that takes any .TXT/.HTM and others and converts them to their specific format. It's fast, has a ton of features and small in size. (Both the program and the compressed eBooks)

I just use the Microsoft Reader e-book reader. It uses the .lit format.

Same Here, use Microsoft Reader, and also got an added bonus. I am able to also read a lot of the books that I had downloaded from Audible.com I was quite surprised. I can download them to my mp3 player and listen to them, or can have Microsoft Reader, read them to me also, or load them onto my Axim and read them when I have nothing else to do, ( which is not very ofter). But yes, Microsoft Reader and was mentioned earlier so far for me, is the way to do! :D

I use primarily PalmReader. After that, I'll do µBook or MobiPocket. I try to avoid using MS Reader at all costs now, after becoming accustomed to readers that work better, faster, and are more configurable, not to mention the whole DRM fiasco.

I get my books from http://www.memoware.com/ but take a look at http://www.pdasupport.com/eBookSites.htm for other options. Just for the record I do not use microsoft reader either. Microsoft reader will not work with my Axim PPC2003 system and Audible format 3 files.

Hope this helps,
Tom

I download a real good software for reading e-book. I think your should try it sometime, CEBOOK v1.2, it can suppose three formats:pdb txt and html. For pdf format, I use REPLIGO, it will include a picture view, so you can browse picture in your PDA. If you use WIFI or surf internet by USB cable, you can see the picture when you offline. By these two softwares, I can read book and browse picture.

After downloading a couple readers I have decided that there is no need to. Microsoft reader works great and is easy to use.
