Any suggestions for a free Ebook reader?

Palm has a decent one and the basic version is free. Check it out.

Adobe Acrobat for Palm OS is good. That's the one I use. The versatility of it is nice.

Read Them All is my personal favorite. It's autoscroll is most natural. Plus, there are so many .txt ebooks availiable, you can find much to choose from.

One problem, though, I am having on my NR70 is that in "Spotlight" mode, I get a continuous "flashing" in the V/G area. Any advice, xyeta?

Also, it does not seem to recognise documents on the M/S, or am I getting that wrong?

Here's the link for it BTW http://maksee.narod.ru/palm/rta/

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

One problem, though, I am having on my NR70 is that in "Spotlight" mode, I get a continuous "flashing" in the V/G area. Actually, the bigger "problem" is that it doesn't support minimizing the VG area to make a 320x480 area.

And, as you mentioned, it doesn't recognize /Palm/Launcher on the MS.

Ultimately, since you have to use Page-Up and Page-Down to start and stop, and more importantly, since different material requires different reading speeds, even this best possible version of auto-scrolling is not as practical as just paging manually.

Currently, my two favorite readers are PalmReaderPro ($10) for already well-formatted material like e-books, and DeepReader ($12) for material like converted DOC files that have formatting problems, where DeepReader's "smart formatting" is definitely a help.

I have been very happy using MobiPocket. It allows full screen on the NR/NX/NZ series, has adjustable font size, and there is a free MobiPocket Publisher that lets you create your own books to read. Their customer support is very good as well. But you have to remember that they are located in France, so any delay in answering may be attributed to time zones.

ReadThemAll does NOT recognize docs on memory stick w/o MSMount support. I just warehouse ebooks on the stick and load them to RAM when I want to read them. It also does not support anything but text.

I use a T615, so I can not reply regarding HiRes+ use.

I just like the way it auto-scrolls with the spotlight, and the plethora of ebook sources with .txt files.
