Is there any way to make my Ipaq 211 to work with eBooks or Kindle off the cf or sd cards. Maybe a program or whatever. Or the format so I could dev a reader.

I can't believe there was over 1800 views and nobody had a response about ebooks!!!

I've combined your two threads into this one. There is no reason to start a new thread just because you are frustrated that no-one has responded to your original thread.

There are lots of ebook options for your device:

Mobipocket makes a pocket pc reader that works very well
Microsoft Reader is also available for pocket pcs

and there are scores of others that are compatible with scores of electronic book formats.

As far as I know, there is no Kindle version that runs on windows mobile devices. But Kindle formatted books are just privately branded mobipocket books in the .prc format. I don't think you'll be able to read Kindle books (especially the ones with DRM on them) with the Mobipocket reader though. You'd need to strip out the Kindle stuff and return them to a mobipocket format before you could use the windows mobile version of Mobipocket to read them.

I am moving this thread to the eBook forum to give it better exposure. You might also want to search through that forum to learn about the different options you could use on your device.
