MobiPocket Office Companian

[mdicembre]

Does anyone have any experience with MobiPocket Office Companian? How is its functionality? How well does it allow for the viewing of Word Documents?


Also, as an aside, I started a thread on here some time back about which was the best dictionary for the Palm. I downloaded a number of the standalone dictionary programs and found them to be clumsy. I recently tried and immediateely purchased the Electronic Pocket Oxford Dictionary for use with Mobipocket. I am thoroughly pleased with its ease of use, appearance on the number of words/definitions contained therein, 140,000/30,000 respectively. Just thought I'd mention this as no one else suggested this.

I like Mobi-Pocket as a reader, never tried the office companion. I did purchase some dictionaries for it too last year. I was not overly impressed with the web companion, it was sort of like an AvantGo.

I was NEVER successful in getting MobiPocket to show news on my Clie'. It would report successful conversion and upload but would NEVER admit that it actually HAD any news to read.

Finally tossed it in favor of iSilo and Handstory, but I liked the IDEA of mobipocket, and items like the OED appealed to me.
