Solved, it was dumb, close please
Convert them with Calibre on your Windows/Mac/Linux machine. ePub is always a good choice to convert to, it seems to be the defacto standard for most everybody these days. Failing that, install FBReader and enjoy a much nicer ebook reader.

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).
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...
Has anyone had any problems with their ereaders..??......I have tried multiple ereader apps such as Aldiko, Kindle, etc.......none will read any of the books I have put on the micro-sd.......I even tried converting from pdf to epub......I must be doing something wrong.......any ideas..??.......I would love to have the ereader from the Pandigital Novel, but I can't figure out how to move it over.......
What were the formats you tried?...PDF typically works fine...there are several PDF readers available...Each of these reader apps support certain formats...maybe you did not match them correctly ( meaning reader app with ebook format)...if you need a program for conversion on PC try Calibre ( freeware) ...very good ...supports magazine subscription and much more...an dthen you can move ebook in corrcet format back to Elocity ( sd card or usb)

I have both the Nook and Kindle e-readers installed from the Market and working just fine, but I have downloaded my books from their stores, not sideloaded via SD.

Even better with calibre you can run the built in web server and just download the books you want with the browser.
Personally I use FBReader for actually reading the books.

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.
Is there any way to make the covers/thumbnails for pdf side loaded ebooks working? Everything is fine while the ebook is in the epub format, but there's no cover if it's in pdf. I can't convert it in Calibre because the program destroys whole content. Maybe there is a way to force Calibre to convert the ebook only by adding a cover and leaving the rest untouched? Or maybe you know how to do it in other way.

Hello, do anyone have news about this isuue? :crying::crying::crying:
The EPUB format has a place for cover images, the PDF format does not.
If you had a cover image for a PDF you'd either have to insert it in some non-standard place in the PDF file or else store it alongside.
I know how to extract a bitmap out of the first page of a PDF on the Nook and could write a bit of a wrapper to do that on the Nook.
The problem is gluing the whole thing together into something useful.
