reader with auto scroll?

Hi all,
I just bought my ipaq 1710 yesterday and loving it.
I installed MS reader and understand I need to use .lit ebooks.

Ok, now I was wondering if there are any other readers out there that have an auto scrolling function? I ask as there are hundreds of pages and it gets a little tiring having to use the pen the whole time.

Thanks for your help guys, great website!!!

Regards,
Kevin

Well, iSilo has autoscroll, but why not just use the navigation button instead of the stylus? You don't always read at the same speed, y'know...

µBook from Gowerpoint is pretty nice. That's what I use.

My methods...

I've been trying to get my new(ish) hx4705 to be as comfortable an eBook reader as my old Rocket eBook. It's been a struggle, but it's close now.
1) I got a leather case with a giant extendo battery in it. This increases the thickness and makes it easier to hold onto and prop up.
2) Once propped up, using the uBook reader (that others have mentioned), it's fairly comfortable to flip pages with a fingertip on the touch-screen, or even with the stylus sort of positioned as a button extender so that a nudge from my resting hand will flip to the next page.
