Palm and PocketPC and EBook Problem

Frinavale

On the weekend I ended up picking up a new HP-iPaq PocketPC to help organize my everyday life.

My boyfriend was so impressed with my new toy that he traded his Palm in for the same HP-iPaq that I'd picked up.

Later that night, to his horror, he discovered that there was no reader for the PocketPC that would work for his EBooks that he loves so much.

Does anyone know of anything out there that we could use to let him read his be-loved books?

Thanks

Isn't there a version of Acrobat Read that runs on the iPaq?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Will Acrobat Read read the palm e-book format?
I don't have any of the e-book files to try it out with.
I'm sure its possible that Acrobat Read could run on the iPaq...it has Windows CE on it.
I'm just wondering if it'll read the e-books?

Thanks!

TBH I don't know, I'm not sure what format Palm ebooks are, I just know the Acrobate comes with a ebook reader now-a-days

Apparently Acrobat Reader shrinks the e-book down to a size that will fit the screen. Since a PDA's screen is small this isn't ideal. Its not the greatest reader.

Is there anything else that I could use?

Thanks

I know this topic comes up every so often - so I thought I would annoy everyone and ask again..... I am looking for a way to write PHP apps on a Palm based computer. Why? Because I like PHP, and the whole Palm OS paradigm is very web-server like (from a user point of view). If the you envionsion a plam screen as a web browser and the Palm DB as either a database or file system, you could easily and quickly build PHP apps for palms.

Hello, Currently I used Biomobility's DataOnTheRun for the Pocket PC. It's a little slow, but it does exactly what I need -- and it does it well. Unfortunately, now I need to have the same thing for the Palm OS and, unfortunately, DataOnTheRun is Pocket PC only. Can anyone please point me to reviews of such software? There seem to be dozens of these kinds of tools, but no where to go to research the differences.

I wondered if some people have recent experiences to share and what tools they chose, to connect with an Access db (either batch update or wireless). The little application that I have in mind is stock taking for inventory. I have a very good experience with my old faitful Palm IIIE (not for this application). But Pocket Pc seems to have caught up and PocketPc just gives me the impression to be simpler now. Maybe I am wrong. I want the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
