good MS reader alternative

Hi

I have a couple of MS reader ebooks but I dont like MS reader.
I found it to be really buggy and it hard reseted my device twice now...

So I was wondering if there was any other reader program that ables me to read MS reader files.

Thanks in advance

that is a pity..

What kind of reader do you use for those files. and is there some kind converter to convert other files (like *.doc or *.lit) to this format?

thanks

Well I use Mobipocket, E-reader and ubook. Depending on what takes my fancy at any given time.

I don't buy books so i'm not locked into any format.
www.memoware.com has a lot of free ebooks and will tell you what readers you can use to read them

I like MS Reader actually. I can read the same files just fine on my tablet pc. To me, it looks nice and doesn't cause me any problems.

Doesn't necessarily have to be PDF, but something other than the proprietary LIT format so that you can use another reader other than MSReader. Personally, I convert my LIT files to HTML and then I use uBook. Why? See this topic for some reasons that people prefer an alternative reader to MSReader.
