Ebook reader for public domain books

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is an e-book reader available for the axim that will read public domain books? In particular I was thinking of the books that google has/plans to make available through the Sony ebook reader.

Thanks.

not just one.... but lots and lots...
The Memoware site has lots of free books, and information about readers
MemoWare Help

When it comes to books, skip google all together and go straight to project gutenberg all the books are available in plain text format so you can convert it to any format you like.

Thanks. Have you tried downloading MP3's from project gutenburg? It didn't work for me, but wasn't sure if it was some setting on the computer or the website.

Any freeware readers that work with WM 5? The site seemed to talk about older version of WM.

RAR file install

Sorry if this is a silly question, but how do I get this file for an ebook reader to install on the axim? Download file is at: Mobile Apps. FREE PDA Software. Mobipocket Reader v5.3.582 (freeware)) It's a arm.rar file. I have a rar extractor and tried extracting it but just got a few random files.

I like mobipocket as a reader, although a lot of people also like ubook and ereader. Both can read Palm formatted books.
