Aximsitex3icon Looking for something Better than PPC Adobe reader

I downloaded and installed Adobe reader for PPC but when I put Ebooks from my computer,it doest read them clearly.I have to move the page I read from side to side to see the full page.The zoon-in/zoom-out doesnt help.

I need a very flexible PPC ebook reader that give me the same flexibility than Ebook reader of desktop computers.What suggestions?

If you sync your ebooks to your pocket pc, ActiveSync can tag your PDF files so your pocket pc can reflow the document to "fit" the screen.

Any other PDF Reader you could get for Pocket PC will not solve your problem...none of them have a tag & reflow option.

If you can display VGA then install AcroRd32.exe.0409.mui along with AcroRd32.exe

I makes a whole world of difference :p

Edit: sorry, I didn't note the thread name at first

I've had the same problemes, but have solved them in an realy fantastic way.

What I do, is using the Mobipocket reader (it is free, and you get it here: Download the free Mobipocket eBook Reader software to read on your PDA and Smartphone. ). You install the XP version and from here connect and install the pocket version of the reader. when this is done, you can syncronize your books between the XP and the pocketpc. So far so good.

And now to the fine part: Mobipocket reader uses an bookformat of the type "MBP" - you can buy books in this format - but you can also use the XP mobipocket reader program to import books from other formats, among others PDF documents. So voliá, now you can read your PDF books in a real pocket ebook reader :approve:

I use Mobipocket before with my humble blackberry 7100t with 32 meg memory.Yes it can do a great job for converting some PDF.

However I was not able to get "Adobe Acrobat PDF reader" PC quality because of the graphic limitation of the blackberry 7100t(inferior to any Axim I think).I hope mobipocket will do a better job with my Axim after install it.I will try it then soon.

It's a good solution but I was hoping more for a solution that directly read PDF without conversion.I already bought and installed Repligo and was disappointed.I need a software that make the PDF pages fit exactly on the screen with smooth quality.
I need to feel almost like if I use Adobe reader on my PC,with less fancy attributes.
