Rocket Books with MS Read or Adobe ?
I have a ton of Rocket books, and plenty of Adobe Acrobat and Html versions of ebooks....

I have the MS Reader, but am wondering whether to load the adobe reader AND another viewer....or is there an easier way to access the rocketbook files?

thanks.

Rocket Books
I don't know about the .PDF files, but have you tried dropping the HTML files into Microsoft Word and then creating LIT files from them? It works for me.

Best e-book reader out there is called ubook (micro-book).

It's free and available here;
www.gowerpoint.com.

For your Rocket eBooks, you might try RBExtract. It breaks down the Rocket eBook into it's component parts, including one or more html files with the actual content. You could then read these html files straight on your PocketPC or convert them to LIT or whatever other format you like.

Note: the RBExtract website is in French, but the program can be installed in English on your desktop PC.
