books library?

hi,
i'm using my trinity a lot for books reading. i have them in *.txt format. i would like a suggestion of a program/database that will allow me to put them all together and view them easily, as well as search the text within them.
thank you very much

For putting them together you can use mobipocket reader (google it - the app is free) - desktop version can convert some formats, including .txt into its own file format and allows you to organise your books, sync them with your phone, etc.. I'm not sure about searching inside a book though.

you can also use ms free ebook reader they got a various formats->lit converter

Ebook Reader

Does anyone know of a good ebook reader for windows mobile, I have a ebook in both .txt and .doc format, but when i try to load it into word mobile it takes so long to load because it is such a large document. Is there anyway for me to read ebooks on my sprint mogul that works well?

My personal prefence is MobiPocket. It's free, and displays numerous file formats. I've been using it on my new Mogul and my BlackBerry prior to that.

Haali reader

microsofts reader works fine for me

AllReader+ is great reader too.

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...

Looking for a file browser to open books in different apps

I use Cool Reader to view most of my eBooks because it is the most compatible reader I could find (I have a mutt library). It is also easy to navigate and read, unlike apps like Mantano which have tiny useless buttons all over the place. I don't use Adilko because it forces the user to import books into its library, effectively requiring double the space for eBooks: space for my hand-sorted eBook library, and space for its own library. I use BeamReader to view my PDFs because it's the only app I've found that has a text wrap feature. I haven't picked out a comic viewer yet.
I am looking for a browser that can open all non-PDF books in Cool Reader, PDFs in BeamReader, and comics in a comic viewer. I have tried using Root Explorer to open books, but it only works with BeamReader for PDFs. I think it opens .txt files in its own reader.
Is there any single file browser I can use to open all of my eBooks? I'm open to both free and paid options.

Have you tried "Rhythm Software File Manager"?
I use it to open every existing format.
Just remember to associate file extensions with the right apps.
I'm sure it works for CR (html,txt,chm), ezPDF (pdf), ebooka pdf (djvu) opera (htm,html,mht), Documents To Go 3.0 (doc,ppt) and so on..

I just installed it, and I love it. It opens all my files perfectly, it has a great interface, and it even has root r/w support. Thanks for the recommendation!
