What eBook reader do you use? Please list Pros/Cons, formats, etc.

Pros:
I mainly use MobiPocket Pro. It has great bookmarks, highlighting, user comments, supportes embedded images, as well as a nice status bar. When opening a book, it also goes directly to the last viewed page of that book. MobiPocket also has a good Font settings.

Cons:
Uses a propriatary format. Have to convert text formats to mpb before you can use it.

I have and use Acrobat Reader, TomeRaider, uBook Reader, MobiPocket Pro, and Microsoft Reader all installed on my Axim X50v. If I had my choice, I'd want all of my ebooks to be in MS Reader format. That is by far my favorite :approve: Each of the others has some kind of quirk or problem, which I'd prefer not to have to deal with.

While Mobipocket does have a proprietary format for certain content, it can also read straight text files and html. There is no conversion necessary for these types of files.

Don't Panic!

MSReader. I like fiction. ;)

eReader Pro! There was a $5 off coupon on this board, not sure if it would work for this purchase.

It was worth the $9.95 just for the bundled ebooks! :approve:

I thought the coupon went to the purchase of your first eBook, rather than to eReader itself. In any event, I think that the free eBooks which come with it make it good value.

Nothing but uBook. The options are kind of confusing, and the interface is poor, but once you get it set up the way you like it -- just open a file and read.

Once I spent some time getting the right fonts/spacing set up for my x50v, it looked REALLY nice.

Just starting out reading Ebooks. Probably will use Mobipocket or MS Reader. These two readers are supported at ebooks.com which has the best prices.
