Reborn X5

[Desdenova10]

My x5 is officially reborn today after about a year of just sitting in the garage. Which was a bad thing to do because now my ebay extended battery has basically just lost its ability to keep a charge...I am going to be buying the following so i need suggestions. Since i have been PPC illeterate in the past 1 year, i have forgotten many things. I was just able to reinstall my wireless symbol CF card and its functioning properly. So make me some good suggestions for the items below.

1. Upgrade the OS from Pocket PC 4.20 to (YOUR SUGGESTION HERE)
2. I will be reading eBooks so i will download the one which is compatibale with the most popular eBook format out there...(YOUR SUGGESTION HERE).
3. Definety need to get the (YOUR SUGGESTION HERE) extended battery.
4. Definetly need some cool software for my interests, Astronomy, News, Cars, Japanese...

come on bring on the suggestions :approve:

dont upgrade the os if it works your ebooks should work anyway look for another battery on fleabay again and make sure its a dell original and for software make sure you get the free version of tcpmp to watch videos that the built-in wmp cant play and get you some decent headphones not the el cheapo ones then you can listen to some serious tunes also

Browse freewareppc.com for good freeware.

Don't upgrade your OS unless you discover a real reason to do so. I upgraded mine and I can't tell any improvement, but my wireless card doesn't work now.

I'm not sure there is compatibility in ebooks, but there are several free readers so you can download them all.

I'm a long-time fan of iSilo, especially from Palm days. The PC-side software can convert many different formats, and will squeeze them pretty well.

I like MobiPocket for a reader.
For astronomy I think Orionic is kinda cool.
