Is an Isilo formatted document important?
If not, then you can head over to www.fictionwise.com

They have a lot of novels in plain documents. There are quite a few in proprietary format such as MobiReader, PalmReader etc. Personally, I dislike these formats since it means having to have multiple readers (often less featured etc) on your Palm. Generally, I try to stick to the plain text documents since they can be read off on different readers.

I know you said you wanted 'pre-made' books . . . I don't know of any specific to iSilo, but I believe it reads regular (unencrypted) palm docs, so you may want to try one of the links below. It's all older stuff, but you may find something you like...

BAEN (http://www.baen.com/library/)

University of Virgina (http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/ebooks/ebooklist.html)

BlackMask (http://www.blackmask.com/page.php)

Have fun!

And here's a link to an outstanding text to .pdb converter called DocInOut (http://www.palmblvd.com/software/pc/DocInOut-1999-05-22-palm-pc.html). It will convert plain text files (like you can find at Gutenberg) to PDB.

It's free & is SO easy to use!

knowbetter.com is similar to fictionwise but you pay a membership fee for a limited checkout period for the book instead of purchasing the book directly. Anyone else know of something like this?
