Hi Julie, thanks for the rotate tip! I've been using Acrobat Reader for years now on the PPC and never new that trick.

I think PDF is a poor ebook format on the PPC as it takes too long to start up the reader. But it is a necessary evil to have around for those documents that are not tagged. Also having a VGA enabled PDA makes viewing them a whole lot easier.

Personally I use uBook almost exclusively and convert most documents I want to read into html format and then zip them up for the added space savings. uBook has no problems opening the compressed html up in under 5 seconds. Quicker if the document is small.

For me it is all about the speed of opening up my book and starting to read, and uBook does this perfectly for me.
