What is the most flexible format?
I wanted to know one that I can create ebooks with, then read them on many diffrent programs.

If you have only plain text - use txt files, for ebooks with some graphics you can save it as html or rtf. I'm using uBook and it can books from a zip file, so it saves space and you can have few books in just one file.

ubook has to have a lisenise, im looking for a free ereader, since microsofts ereader doesnt work right for me.
So does anyone know a good free reader that supports a format that I can make?

If it is just going to be stylized text, without images, use RTF (Rich Text Format).

With pictures, HTML. If you truely want it to be universal.

I tried that, but they take too long to scroll, their too big for pie AND word, plus I cant bookmark with either..

You don't use PIE or Word to read an eBook HTML file; you use a program like uBook.

pdb (palmreader) format sounds like what you want. there are viewers on most platforms and ereader/mobipocket will read it for free on the ppc

Eh, I found one that I can se with a reader that WORKS, .prc files with MobiPocket Reader

if you have a external card adobe acrobat is very easy to use and you can find programs that make pdf. files pretty much anywhere.
