Palm and PocketPC and EBook Problem

Frinavale
9,735 Expert Mod 8TB
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
