Any experience or recommendations? Also, what are the best sites for downloading books? Thanks! __________________ Lynne

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.

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! __________________ Palm Vx>Sony Clie NR70v>Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D>Compaq Ipaq 3600>Sony Clie TG50>PalmOne LifeDrive w/Universal wireless folding keyboard and Motorola Razr V3x

But for reading most ebooks I use Palmreaderpro. You can get palmreader for free at http://www.palmdigitalmedia.com/ __________________ \\\//// "Don't Panic" O-O~ - llll

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. __________________ Lynne

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
