Elfin Ebook Readers Opinions

I just got the Touch by Sprint, Or as it is called the Elf. I am looking for a good, easy to use ebook reader. I would prefer something that uses pdf, but as ong as I an find a converter, I will use any format. I have a bunch of Ebooks on my PC that I have previously bought and want a reader were I can use them. Thanks

You can use the mobile version of Adobe Reader to read pdfs, but I think it's a bit of a pain as they don't fit on the screen in a readable resolution. I tend to use Microsoft Reader, which uses lit files. Lit files are fairly easy to find. Otherwise I use Mobipocket, which reads a few different file formats.

Mobipocket Reader is the best ebook reader for Windows Mobile. They also have a free app called the Mobipocket Creator which will convert most ebooks to a txt or other readable format. The best thing about it its 100% free.

I second the MobiPocket, it's great.
P.S. Your device if your with Sprint is the Vogue!!!
easiest way to tell, the Vogue is doesn't have WiFi. There are other differences but that's the one that will cause you to go....Ahhhhhh....

Yes mobi pocket is very good reader...
The cool thing is, you can import pdf files, and it will remove the line-breaks automatically.
I've been using mobipocket for half year, and it totally beats other reader applications (and I've tried allot).

Best pocket reader?

what is a good pocket reader to read ebooks?

Mobipocket Reader. Free.

any other ones? that one is not very touch friendlt.

Actually it depends on what format is your eBook too. For me I have Mobipocket Reader and RepliGo Viewer installed.

I think, that MS Reader is the best pocket reader.
But its a little bit difficult to produce / convert "lit-files"

Haali reader

"But its a little bit difficult to produce / convert "lit-files""
there is a free program which convert html, txt, doc and rtf directly to lit

There is also uBook Reader: http://www.gowerpoint.com, I use this and Mobipocket together

Microsoft Reader ftw. Seriously. Mobipocket and Ubook pale in comparison.

Mobi maybe, uBook heck no... the major, major prob with MS Reader is that it only reads one format... I want a reader that reads allllllll formats... sadly that has yet to be written... so I use uBook and MS Reader...

i basically get books for www.skyscape.com
but they use their own program and everything is sorted out via them. i really find their reader very unfriendly.
how can i find out what type of file it is?

I have been using Mobipocket Reader and also iSilo since many years with satisfaction on PalmOS.
And I have renewed this choice on my X1 after having tested many other readers, including the very crappy Microsoft one, that never wanted to install correctly (I had to create the shortut myself in the start menu) and that never wanted to read the common eBooks you can find for free on the internet.
And now, many publications are in HTML format, so I read them with Opera...

Htc Reader Application

The reader on htc desire HD is great, i love it that it comes preloaded with couple of great books but how do i add more books to it. I tried tranfering a book in pdf and epub form but it doesn't seem to load onto the reader app but i can see the pdf file in adobe reader...How do i add the epub or pdf into Reader app?

You need to log into your own Kobo or Adobe ID account, and get the books from there. There is no file import option AFAIK.

yes, epub files work.
You have to put them in the Digital Distribution folder on the SD card, they will show up in the reader once you start it

I don't have any folder called this, where is it located?

I'm sorry, i meant Digital Editions
You'll find it on the root of the SD Card, if it's not there make it.

HTC Reader ICS version?
Hi,
Does anyone have the HTC reader compatible with ICS 4.03? I tried using the old app but it malfunctions in that it stops working when trying to load a book and also loads on half a screen.
Thanks!

The adobe reader app works for the pdf files and books I use

[Q] Best Ereader App

What is the best Ereader app for Acer A500?

Depends on the taste but my prefered reader is Cool Reader.

mine is Lumiread, but also ezpdf reader is really good.

Try Aldiko for Android ePub Reader
I've been using the Aldiko ePub reader on my A500 and on my Nexus One. It works well on both platforms. It's integrated with Adobe DRM so if you need to access DRM protected eBooks, then it can handle that. It has a "store" mode that links to a number of eBook resellers. But, you can also import ePub files that you might have stored locally on a PC, or that you've downloaded from free eBook web sites.
Try it I think you'll like it.

Thank you all for your kind suggestions. Greatly appreciated.

I second Aldiko.
