now got a question for all gadgeteers here

[deane]

I'm going to be getting a "tmobile shadow" or HTC juno (I believe its called) cell phone that uses both microsoft reader along with mobipocket along with maybe straight .doc compatibility and pdf as well. now my question is what is the best one to actually use? any opinions are much appreciated!

Mobipocket and MSReader are probably the 2 most popular readers for mobile devices. There are a number of other good ones out there. For reading Fel's works I use MS Reader, because I have this handy utility from OverDrive Inc. called ReaderWorks Standard. It is free, and has less bells and whistles than their full blown package, but it allows me to quickly and easily convert text to MS Reader files. I regularly take stories from on-line and store them in a .doc format. One trick I have found handy is to make the title the first line of the file, and then convert everything to a size 16 font. Many people just use a size 12, but I am blind and need the bigger font to read

I use a Dell Axim 5 to read most of my stuff while commuting, so I have fonud this combo handy. I have created books from lengthy stories on line, or download books online in the reader format.

I like isilo.com's product. Platform agnostic.
