I would like to be able to read e-books on my new Clie, but not sure which Doc Viewer I should get. Any experience or recommendations? Also, what are the best sites for downloading books? Thanks!

iSilo, for sure.. Not only can you read e-books, but you can grab and convert web pages or text files from your hard drive.

ISilo is one of the best, if not the best, reader out there. Flash-57 made a good point about being able to convert stuff (websites, txt files, etc) with it. Not only does it read doc files, it also reads its own proprietary isilo files. and there are a lot of them. check out memoware.com or turcic.com for more isilo stuff.

Yes Isilio is the best, ESPECIALLY if you're going to onvert webpages. I always like to convert the online manuals for programs with it, it's invaluable! I silio handles webpages better than any program out there!

ISILO is the best choice, I've converted numerous .chm program help files to isilo format. (need chm2web)

I use ISILOX for converting web pages and reading some files made especially for it. But for reading most ebooks I use Palmreaderpro. You can get palmreader for free at http://www.palmdigitalmedia.com/

I just went to the palmdigitalmedia site and found 3 great books right away. What a great site! And the free palmreader is perfect. Thanks for the recommendation!

BTW-are you really an RN?? The reason I ask is because I'm one, myself.

Also look at Handstory:

memo, doc reader, web clipper/viewer, image clipper/viewer, ebook reader.

Also manages moving between memory card and internal ram on its own.

Plus you can grab pre-defined clipped and free eBooks from their site.

I think you will like it

settled on isilo a while back because of the ability to make the text size VERY small. they both have free trials... try em and decide for yourself.

Glad you like it. Try also www.memoware.com for tons of free ebooks. And yes, I am an RN - work in a 12 bed ICU. :)
