Hi all,
New member to forum and new owner of HPC. I have several PDA's but this is my first HPC. Is there an ebook reader available for HPCs? I have an NEC MobilePro 790 with Handheld 2000 OS.

I use Mobi-Pocket occasionally. I also use Microsoft Reader occasionally as well. (It's slow and clunky on my J720) My personal favorite is micro book e reader at http://www.gowerpoint.com/Index.html.

Check Henri Spagnolo's Handheld Attitude site (http://www.yetanotherhomepage.com/j7xx/j7xx.html) and select Software\Leisure\Ebook category and you will find a number of ebook readers - try them and find your own favorite! (And reply with the one you like best and why - we'll all learn then!)

Like the other two posters, Uncle Ben also uses the Mobi thing - works fine, I have a MobilePro 900, and they don't bug you to keep buying ebooks - you buy them, fine, you don't, they just leave you alone. But I can tell you that they have some fantastic deals if you like reading books on your HPC - not really my cup o'tea!

Cheers!

Of all the e-book reader programs listed here, how many of them are interchangeable? I ask that because I want to check out more than one.
