E-Books on my Ax

I'd advise having a look at www.fictionwise.com. In addition to MSReader (.lit) ebooks it also sells Mobipocket (.prc) and Palm ebook format (.pdb) . There's info there on how to get the free PocketPC readers for both formats.

I bought a book from this site. I did not have the option of saving it anywhere-it just went into MSReader. How do I get it to my Ax?

Fictionwise

On the download - It asks you for the format (pull down box)

OOPS! --- It will get posted to your PC somewhere. From there copy it to My Documents on your AX (use Explorer on your PC)--- Then all should be fine.

I'm an idiot....I downloaded before I installed MSReader on my PC. I just went back and redownloaded it. Got it on my Ax :) Woohoo!

Are there any other places to get good ebooks other than P2P sharing which I would rather not do. Does palm format work on the Ax?

Here is the Adobe for Pocket PC link. Just choose Pocket PC for the platform.

In answer to your problem about .lit books on the net. There are hundreds of thousands of text books and what I do is create my own .lit books using the Reader plugin for Word available on the Microsoft website. It's simple, copy the text to a Word document then click on the Reader plugin icon, give it a name and voila, you have your book. Copy it to your Axim and you're reading.

I haven't had much success with pdf books when they are converted to pocket pc format.
