eBook reader on X1?

Hello all,
I've tried searching for a text reader with bookmarking ability for the X1,
The only one I've found is uBook, but the site seems to be down for the past 3 days.
Does anyone know of any other reader software that can handle un-DRM'ed RTF files?
Thanks in advance.

Mobipocket Reader doesn't work on the X1? BTW: uBook is a very good e-book reader for the PPC. Sorry to hear that the site is down

Yeah, I installed mobipocket but unless i'm going daft, it wouldn't show the RTF files I have...I really don't want to go throught the effort of converting formats...so i'll probably wait till the uBook site is back up unless anyone else has an reader recommendation

There is a thread on the ubook forum:

Nobody knows why it is down. Potentially moving hosts (hopefully). An excellent ebook reader that I had on my Wizard. Was hoping to revive it on my Xperia...

Best app for Displaying Adobe PDF Files

I know the THD has Adobe Reader LTE on it, is there anything better for viewing PDF files.

What's wrong with Adobe LE? Have you tried using Adobe LE's "reflow" function? Head to the registry HKCU\Software\Adobe\AdobeReaderLE 2.5\ and change the value of "EnableReflow" to 1. Restart Adobe and now you can "reflow" the text from tools->view.
I don't think any other pdf-viewer has this feature, which makes Adobe LE by far the best reader IMHO.

try fox-It reader http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/mobile/wm_ppc.htm

I don't want to start the same old discussion here.. But
Adobe Reader LE is
a)Faster
b)Better resolution.
c)Has better Reflow.
d)Has better memory management.
e)Is free (comes with device)
What more do you need. ??

do a google for mobilexpdfwm6, it gives more detail than adobe for me.

I'm reading an e-book using Adobe Reader LE but there doesn't seem to be any settings whereby I can bookmark the last page I read so that I can return to that page once I reopen the same e-book. Does anyone know how this can be done or if not, whether any other readers has this functionality? Thanks.

Don't know about that functionality, but personally I love Repligo if you can be bothered with the conversion process. Light weight, provides flow mode (yeah, PMS on demand!), and seems to work nicely with large PDFs.

I like PocketXpdf with it's "View text only" feature. However, some PDFs can't be opened

I used to usse Repligo on a Palm, and loved it. But now Repligo says it no longer makes the version for WM. Where did you get it?

PDF Reader

Does anybody know of a good PDF reader that works on the X1, or Windows mobile in general?

Adobe Reader LE works fine.

I neglected to mention that I would prefer something free. I searched for adobe reader LE, and was directed from the adobe site to one where I could purchase the program for 15.00$. I didnt even see the X1 or Windows mobile listed as supported devices or platforms, but I'll take your word for it. So am I looking at the wrong thing or something, maybe?
If not, then I could still use another solution

huh? It's free from adobe....go here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_mobile.html

are there any better good performing free finger friendly pdf readers

Adobe Reader LE comes with the Xperia. Reformat your phone, you must have uninstalled it.

try this bro http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/mobile/index.htm=
foxit is better than adobe on windows. haven't tried their mobile version though

double post

FoxIt is a great PDF reader, the only one I use. You have to pay, but worth it if you read regularly.

Ereader Kicking my A**

+1 foxit is awesome, best pdf reader on PC and WM.

I like Microsoft Reader and Mobipocket on the HD2.
Callibre on the PC works great for format conversion.

Microsoft's Reader is awful! Haven't tried Foxit or the others but the B&N one is pretty poor, and I use eReader.com's reader daily, does everything I want and more. Too bad they got bought by B&N, but they seem to still be operating. I wish B&N would spend some development $ on it's reader for PocketPC, it really stinks right now. Formatting is whacked, no themes, limited font support, and worst is that .epub format that nobody seems to support. Fortunately if you buy a book on B&N you can go to their web site and download it directly and get the .pdb version, which you can then open on eReader just dandy!

I'll give it a try.
What is the best format for ereader...Epub? (I see the pdb, but I cannot imagine that is the only format it takes)
ETA: I take it back. I see that Pdb is the format for this. Never used it.

The best reader I have found is Freda. It's free (I made a donation) and supports a bunch of formats. If you Google "decrypt B&N epub" you will find there are some ways to get Freda to read the encrypted files.

On the desktop PC, I agree. I use Foxit, much better than Adobe.
On the WM phone, I beg to differ. I haven't yet tried it on the HD2, but have on other WM devices, and did not like the mobile version of Foxit Reader.
I think the new version of Adobe Reader for WM, that we get for free on the HD2 (unlike past versions, and unlike the desktop version, this current version of Adobe Reader for WM is not free, they charge for it, yet we get it for free. Thanks HTC!), works quite well. I wouldn't change from it to use Foxit Reader on the HD2, although I certainly prefer Foxit on the desktop.

Freda for the reader
Calibre for the conversion software
After that, put it anywherre on your phone and point Freda to it. Calibre smoothly converts pdf files.

The new version of the B&N eReader is out! Downloading it now!
If you want to avoid the horrible download speeds from the direct download here's the URL it uses:
http://images.barnesandnoble.com/PResources/download/WinMo/BNeReader_1.1.0.22.CAB
After using it for a short time I can say it's way better, doesn't munge the database when you try to do multiple actions at once (multiple downloads, or download while it's syncing) but there are still issues, especially with themes. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete a theme you create, and when I created a white on black theme it looks like the text is all black background with white text but the rest of the page is still white! It looks awful!
Hopefully this means they have a developer working with them on this and it won't be the last version, it'll get more attention.

"New" B&N Reader Version Still Is Limited
Version 1.1.0.22 still will not recognize older PDB formatted books, and I can't get it to recognize any PDF files I load.

[Q] Playing with pdf

Hi, my main usage of folio is studying lots of manuals, so I need capability of search function and highliting written text. The best sw found till now is quickoffice, which has the search function but no highlights. I saw htc tablet (flyer) having it, but don't know where to find it. Any help or suggestions for a similar sw?
Thanks bye

Try RepliGO Reader.

My vote is also on RepliGO Reader for your purpose... I still use Adobe Reader mostly myself

I would recommend ezPDF reader, far the best pdf reader I ever seen on Android. You can add sticky- or hand drawn notes, and highlight, underline, or strike out words. Moreover it's very cheap.

Well, I find myself very comfortable with ezpdf, tks for helping
