finger friendly ebook reader? - General Topics

hi folks,
I currently use ms reader and all of my books are in .lit format
does anyone know a finger friendly reader that will let me easily change pages on screen? I hate using the hardware buttons on my phone
cheers
chris

Mobipocket Reader 6.1
Mobipocket reader is awesome, it reads .lit formats and you can turn the page by tapping the screen. you can also install the desktop version on your pc and it will convert and send books to your phone.

since when does mobipocket support .lit ??
wish mine did ! lol

Halli reader, you can simplely tap the screen to the next page

have looked at both but they don't read .lit
are there any besides ms reader that does?

Considering .lit is not an open format and msreader's a very good reader....I doubt you'll find much of anything other than msreader to read your ebooks.
And you don't need to use the hardware buttons. You can tap the page-number or the arrows next to the page-number if you really want to bungle along without the hardware buttons.
Personally I prefer using the directional pad on my hx4700 though the up-down on the side of my axim x5 was even better (stupid pda broke though ).

has anyone got the cab for tiny reader I understand that may work
got the trial version, does anyone know what the limitations are?

mobireader perfect
mobireader is free, has a cab installer, and not only has tap screen for next and previous page but has an autoscroll feature where the text smoothly scrolls up the screen at whatever speed you prefer. I found this useful when working on a cross-trainer and wanting to read at the same time. Made a holder for the phone (HD2) and left it scrolling, never had to touch it again till the workout had finished. Its a perfect reader for text files although, I agree, I dont think lit is supported as thats an MS format.
Got the new reader on Wm6.5.3 on HD2 and testing that out now if I can find any details.

I used to read lit files on ms reader but then switched to the far superior mobipocket. I use the free ABC Amber Lit Converter to convert to html, which can be dragged onto the mobipocket desktop reader.

+1 for mobireader...gotta luv the autoscroll!

The best pdf reader...

Hi guys!
I just bought an HP 514 with Win mobile 6 smartphone... can you help me to find out the best pdf reader for wm6 smartphone?
Thanks!
I convert my PDFs to RepliGo
I convert all my documents and pdfs to RepliGo format. It is the easiest to use on a small screen and document compression is the best. You can print to a RepliGo document on your PC. You can also convert web pages to RepliGo format and it will auto resize large pages to fit a standard document size. It has a text search. The reader on the pda is less than 400K. The reader is free for Windows, PPC, Smartphone, Palm so if you have to share a document you can share the reader.
http://www.cerience.com/products/pro/blackberry/index.htm
hard to say what is the best but there is a reader from adobe itself and i also use MobileXpdf.
Repligo has a big disadvantage.. you dont have your desktop pc with you if you get a mail with a pdf attachment
Where can I download MobileXpdf for WM 6 smartphone?
I can't find it surfing the web...
dont remember where i found it. google found it here for example:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/m/mo/mobilexpdf/
havent checked this, if you dont trust that source give me your mail adress

foxit reader = bet pdf reader on the market.
the projects address
you can download mobilexpdf at
http://www.mobilexpdf.blogspot.com
or by going to
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mobilexpdf
PS: when foxit will be better than mobilexpdf, i'll eat it! and by the way... don't you have to pay for foxit reader (mobilexpdf is free/opensource) so not the same category...
(sorry for my english) I will try mobilexpdf, (thanks for your work gciochina). I have tried Foxit and I have uninstall it 5 minutes later. I think that we dont need a pdf reader for see little parts of a document with images, etc... For that we have Adobe Reader LE or PDF to Go, or... but a reader that extracts text from pdfs for read it like .txt or .rtf, .doc, etc... and that it allows that we pruned to read pdf ebooks without any previous transformation.
A couple questions about Adobe Reader LE
1. How do I associate .pdf files to the Adobe Reader LE? The .pdf files have the default icon for unassociated files. I tried using Resco Explorer to associate them with the Reader using "Open with". But... I get an invalid path error every time I click any .pdf file.
2. I got Adobe Reader LE 2.0 from the Extras.zip from one of the 6.0 ROM, is Adobe Reader 2.5 available in the newer ROMs?
Thanks...

Ok... I was testing the new Foxit pdf reader Beta, but was annoyed by the banner that reminds one to register it. I installed MobileXpdf 0.0.6.0 using the cab available at SourceForge and I like what I see. I noticed that it was a little slow. The source for the latest version 0.0.6.2 was available, but there was no cab file availble just the source. McHale, do you know where I can get a cab file for 0.0.6.2 as it "might" fix some of the performance issues I noticed.
Thanks...

I'm using 0.0.6.0. They update CONSTANTLY so 0.0.6.2 or newer should be available soon.
The reason it is slow on your HP is because is the phone itself is slow. It takes me forever to edit contacts and do other simple things...
But, slowness aside, I really like the HP 510. For someone who isn't a power user of Windows Mobile applications besides the basics, it is perfect.

MobileX is better than adobe. Thanks. But personally pdf's just plain suck period on my shadow. I installed acrobat pro just to convert pdf's to html which works much faster. Foxit in ANY shape sucks balls. (try pdf-xchange viewer)
A tip for those using adobe reader le version 2.5 to read pdf files
To make the text fit to page and great to read, try adjusting the zoom level to 100 % or 105% using the plus or minus buttons [or from the menu], next click on 'tools' [ bottom left hand corner of screen], select 'view' then select 'reflow', the result should be an improved layout of page info and text, the only thing is you will have to go thru this process everytime you open a new pdf file.
'Reflow' in Adobe reader was the clincher for me - it officially does everything I need a PDF reader to do.
Opens large files quickly
Reflow for easier on-screen reading (reading that technical manuals that I do needs some level of formatting retained)
Rotate for landscape reading
It's fast (I quickly got sick of MobileX's "Rendering page" message)
I only wish that the reflow option could be set up as a preference...
I'm chuffed that I finally found a way to carry lots of books around with me in a readable format!
Adobe Reader LE 2.5
Hi
Add another vote for Adobe Reader LE 2.5

Adobe Reader LE 2.5 is pretty fast.
It would be even better if some one could find a way to disable the splash screen and improve loading time.

Best ROM; I have tryed some

Hi
I don't understand as everybody consider a ROM as good if it is disable to run properly Adobe Reader 2.0.
I use a lot the Adole Reader 2.0 which has reflow mode, essential feature to read pdf documents e.g. pdf electronic books and I use the Tytn II to read books. As all you know, Adobe Reader LE has not this feature and so it is useless.
For instance, in Schap 4.31 and 4.30 there is a conflit between Adobe Reader 2.0 and Task manager (X button). If we open the Adobe Reader 2.0 and open a pdf document, it works. However when we click in the cross X to close the Adobe Reader, Tytn II crash with these ROMs. We can avoid this closing the Adobe using the command Exit; however this is not practical.
For me, by default, Schap's ROMs have the best looking.
I use the Task Manager (X button) configured to close the program, not minimize it.
- Original HTC and Sleuth 1.0 ROMs have not this problem and so I use Sleuth 1.0.
- Q-mobile 1.2 ROM has only one background, it is disable to configure automatically the phone provider, it has no game neither voice dial. It has a interesting GPS tool to observe satellites before start Tomtom and TCPMP by default.
- Schap’s 4.30 has the problem mentioned above, but has Advanced configuration tool. It has not Java and Voice dial neither GPS tool.
- Schap’s 4.31 has a better Advanced configuration tool and it has a interesting GPS tool. It has not Java and Voice dial.
- Jack’s 1.1a has a lot of interesting programs, but it’s a little different of normal way to work with the Tytn II and we need to learn a little more about this ROM. It has a program called Multipad that is fantastic to write notes by hand with a thin line and quick to write. However the physical keyboard has some symbols changed of position. It has by default Battery status and Resco Explorer v6.17 what is good. It has lot of games but only two backgrounds. It has no X button and we need to install other like magic button. This ROM, however, it seems a little unstable.
- Laurentius26 v_1 has Schap’s Advanced configuration tool v1.1. It has the same problem with Adobe Reader 2.0; after close this program, Start icon crash. Resco Explorer doesn’t run properly in this ROM; this is also a problem with others ROMs; to observe this problem, try to see Windows files using the up and down arrows; it is very slow to do this.
Thanks very much.

Not to be rude and nothing against you, but, your post just cracked me up man!
Am not sure what your point is here but I sure hope it's not being hung up on whether Adobe Reader works perfectly on a ROM or not. All of the other apps that you're talking about are available as cab files so you can install them as you wish on your "perfect" ROM...
Mmm... I don't have any problem with running Resco Explorer on my build
Adobe Reader I took out and replaced with PocketXPDF which runs much better then Adobe in my opinion.
Do you use latest builds of your software?

As I stated in my notes, my rom is targeted for ATT Tilt (since this is what I have), and keyboard mapping to HTC variant (e.g. Tytn II) is just a removal of one registry key.
Background? Different people just have different taste on it so I just take it out from the rom and let people add whatever they like later.
For X Button, HTC's one is probably the worest I ever use. User unfriendly, too less function for too many memory use compare to Wisbar, SPB close button, WKTASK, ... etc. BTW, QuickMenu in my rom has this feature too.
Unstable? Can you give more detail?
For PDF file, you may want to check out Piscel Browser. Much better than Pocket Adobe IMHO.
There is no best or perfect rom (unless you build one for yrself). Only ROMs that will serve some people the most.
To get the perfect ROM
Hi Sherpa, Moi5508 and ROMs makers
Excuse me to insist.
I wish to thank very much to all ROMs makers. My goal is indeed to give my contribute to get a perfect ROM. Unfortunately I don’t know to make a ROM.
I know we can customize any ROM of Tytn II with cabs. However, for me, makes no sense to have by default in a ROM a Task Manager (X button) to close the programs and we can not use it; we need instead to install other like e.g. Magic Button because the default X button crash Tytn II.
In my job, in a Project department in a shipyard, we need to read lot of reports, rules, catalogues, books, etc, which usually are in a pdf format and Word format. That´s the reason why Adobe Reader 2.0 with reflow feature is so important.
I think that Tytn II is to use mainly for professional purpose like a PC as it is a Pocket PC, not only like a phone or a GPS, and so on.
Lot of members are preoccupied with amount of memory and request Big Storage taking off important software and lot of customize possibility, resulting in a big work and time, loading cabs, installing and testing them.
I think that, even if we don’t use them usually, a good ROM must have by default, software we normally have in a PC.
Original HTC ROM, unfortunately has bugs, but it has practically most of the important software we need to use in a professional environment, less the Adobe Reader 2.0, I don’t know why as it’s free.
For me makes no sense to reduce the capability of Tytn II. On the contrary we must to increase its possibility e.g. with a decent Internet Explorer and others like a PC. For instance we need Java to install mini Opera.
Thanks

Hi Laurentius26 - PocketXPDF & Resco
Hi Laurentius26
Thanks very much for your answer.
Resco Explorer runs well in your ROM when folder has few files. At Windows folder which has thousands of files is noticeable what I mentioned, it’s slow using the up and down arrows; at list in my Tytn II WWE Europe one.
I don’t know PocketXPDF. Can you please tell me if this one has reflow mode (to read a pdf it only move up and down because reflow split a long text line in several small ones that match display size.
Please tell us the site to find it.

Hi jackleung - Multipad is fantastic
Hi jackleung
Thanks very much for your answer.
As I said, your ROM is very interesting as it has lot of useful software by default; as it is a little unusual I feel that I need more time to learn to use it; may be I was using wrongly the software and I found a little instability, my fault; as I use Tytn II in a professional environment, like a PC, I have few time to learn using it and test all features.
Multipad is fantastic; please tell us the site where is the cab.
You said "Piscel Browser. Much better than Pocket Adobe IMHO". Where is the cab please. Has it reflow mode, I mentioned in the previous (above) post, as Adobe Reader 2.0?
Thanks very much

For multipad, you can just copy the exe file from my rom, no cab or installation is needed. For Piscel, I am not sure what is reflow mode, but you drag, scroll, zoom in/out with just yr finger motion. (This feature is long before Iphone or HTC FLoflow exist). U can check out this site for detai: http://www.picsel.com/index.php/solutions/view/C11/ For cab, you probably can search this site or google for it.
In the Windows directory it's always slow reading, that's not a problem of Resco. If you use the default explorer you have the same issue.
PocketXPDF you can find here:
http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net
All info can be found there as well.

Leo

But you will see a BIG different if you need to sort the file, resco return almost instantly and Windows could takes couple mins to finished.
For Resco, it make a big different if you check "hide file in rom" (why we need to see files that we can't change anyway?)
There are a few PDF viewers out there for the PDA. To be honest I include Adobe LE in mine because I was comparing it with the older Clearvue--and Adobe LE is INCREDIBLY faster on large document loads and viewing than Clearview was.
There is now two others (the XPDF mentioned here and another that escapes me at the moment) which people claim to be superior to even Adobe LE. One day I'll get around to testing them and see if that is true for speed in a large document as well (the most useful to me).
But right now I'm happy with the default feature set of my ROM, everything works together without crashing and people can easily add specific things they like to their device to make it run the way they want. The next planned update of Q-Mobile won't be until HTC releases an update that fixes some major issues (better drivers for the MSM7200 to improve battery life, video performance, etc). Or windows mobile 6.1 professional becomes available

after testing almost all the cooked roms I actually settled down on yours! Thank you again!
Adobe Reader 2.0 reflow feature is indispensable
Hi
I know ClearView and Adobe Reader LE (Light Edition). These pdf readers are useless as they have not reflow mode.
Adobe Reader 2.0 is free and has reflow mode.
This feature takes e.g. a A4 text size, e.g. letter size 10 or 12, and in each A4 line, it split the long original line is several small lines in order each small line match the Pocket PC display size. In this way, to read the text, we only need to move the text up or down; it is not necessary to move the text to left or right.
Furthermore by each click in the D-pad it moves a complete pocket display page up or down permiting to read a document or a book in a very confortable way.
Adobe Reader full version compared to LE version is HUMONGOUS! Blah!
PocketXpdf is worst than Adobe Reader 2.0
I gave it a try to PocketXpdf and this is worst than Adobe Reader 2.0 (don't make confusion with Adobe Reader LE which is very bad).
PocketXpdf is slow, it has a little feature like reflow from Adobe Reader 2.0, but it's slow, and the pages scrolling is very bad, when compared with Adobe Reader 2.0.
I please ask to ROM makers that (when they put by default the X button from HTC (Task Manager), and the user configure it to close the programs) please test in their ROMs, if Adobe Reader 2.0 when it is closed using the X upper right display corner icon, doesn't crash Tytn II.
I remenber that HTC original and Sleuth 1.0 ROMs works perfectly in this point, and so there must be something in others ROMs to appear the problem.
I would like very much to use others of your ROMs, whose are fantastics, and I'm disable due to this problem.
Thanks
cribeiro
From my point of view the PDF readers in cooked ROMs are there just to be able to read some PDF if needed, not to do supa-dupa magic with it. It's your option to install different PDF reader that suits you well.
You are saying that after closing the Adobe Reader (full) it crashes your phone.
Have you tried different Task Manager?
I'm using Q-Mobile 1.2 as in my opinion it is closest to the stock ROM but with MUCH better improvements, speed and stability.
Try this one and try installing different task managers, maybe you will find one that fits you best without crashes.
My 2 cents...
where can i find different task managers... i also want to use my tilt to read ebooks and i understand where he is coming from. i would love to get my rom'd tilt to run 2.0 or even find half way decent TTS software to read it to me while i drive... i have already converted the last 4 books i have read to word using my adobe 7.0 pro but that is a pain to have to do before every book.

Anyone know of a good multi format book reader?

As the title says, im looking for an app that i can use to read books on my phone. Im coming from a hermes and the program ive been using isnt for smartphones (non touch screens) any recomendations please? thanks in advance =)
bump thanks
The Mobipocket Reader is available for quite any mobile platform. The Reader supports many features, like automatic scrolling, fonts, screen rotation, etc.
Wikipedia issues are available as well, which makes it the perfect companion for me.

Wich ebook reader to use with WVGA?

Wich ebook reader to use with WVGA?
Anybody got a idea? Having trouble to read eBooks because everything is to small.
allreader search for free english version...
I don't have the link handy.... it scales very well for any screen size..
you can also add fonts to the windows font folder and change the fonts in the program.
the same program works in both standard and professional wm...
eReader and Mobipocket work perfectly on Omnia 2 (WVGA). As rob_van_triet says, you can use fonts from your PC and of course, you can set fontsize to anything you like.
try this http://www.isilo.com/
Allreader is the one (-;
Thx all
Wise choice
I use Alreader on HD and happy with it.
You can also try µBook (http://www.gowerpoint.com/).
Thanks guys for the info, was looking for a good eReader for quite some while now =D
Anyone have a link to free english version of allreader? Can't find free one anywhere?! Thanks!!
Extract and copy .exe file to your phone and run Its english Alreader 2.3, works very good on my Leo
Thanks Petulinek! Its perfect! Nice one.
It's better than Abode Reader?
Maybe a stupid question but i'm looking for a e-book reader which can do the following things:
- Can open .LIT, .EPUB and .MOBI
- Works in a Windows Mobile 6.5 environment
- Works on a HTC HD2 smartfone, i.e. without a stylus
I've tried all the possible apps mentioned above. I used to be very fond of MS Reader but that one doesn't work on Winmo 6.5. Does anybody have an idea for me? TIA
UBook works perfect, do not use pencil, the application is handled very well by setting the gestures, supports multiple formats of text files sorporta zipped text with pictures inside, change fonts, appearance and etc.
The first time I Insala gave me problems but I think it's because they did not have Framework 3.5 installed on HD2, now works perfect, although I can not certify that the problem was not having Framework installed.
A greeting

I am looking for the same thing I have tons of .LIT books so I need an ebook app to handle that
does anyone of them have page markers to save your current location in the "book"?
alreader has page markers.
Undoubtedly uBook reader, supports multiple formats, annotations, boolmarks, etc, HD2 works perfectly and gestures can be configured to turn the page, etc. autoscroll.
I use and I will perfect
Thanks, i have 2.6 if ya want it, its ok, finger scroll would be nice though
I have been reading ebooks on my various phones for years and the best I have used on Windows Mobile is AllReader followed by uBook then Mobipocket. Isilo is poor in my view and to be avoided. I used to use uBook more than any other but once you start using AllReader there is no going back, it is just so configurable. Superb software and well worth the money.

Anyone reading e-books on topaz? looking for soft

hello, i am looking for some software, which can read pdb files (e-books). i was using haali reader for my axim x51, but topas doesnt have any HW navigation (up,down) buttons. its hard to use haali without these HW buttons.
is there any other software like haali was? (except mobipocket reader)
thanks
I had the same problem with MarkMyScriptures, a software that i use to read scriptures.
I've solved that isue installing gsm keyboard 1.4,
and then you can remap vol up/vol down to down and up.
so you don't need another app.
Here you have the way to remap up/down, and in the 1st post you can download the app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555821&page=2
ok, kbdcontrol 1.4 is running, but i have problem with class definition. its changing (some hex numbers), everytime i open application (haali).
EDIT:
solved: used PROCESS function (reader.exe).
but original keys doesnt work as usual. i want to map these keys only for specific app (that haali reader).
EDIT2:
solved, original keys work as usual -> used "*" in configuration. YEAH!
thanks!
I've used haali on my xda mini, for topaz I use AlReader2. Is very simillar to haali (based on it actualy) but you can move forward/backward by taping on the screen instead of buttons. Very comfortable for me.
ok, got allreader+, its much more better than haali, no need to have hw buttons... i recommend it.
Alreader2
Hi there,
been an ebook fanatic since the days of the HP Ipaq... always used HaaliReader, but with Diamond II it's nothing but problems... doesnt seem to recognize any hardware buttons or respond properly to screen touch.
I recommend Alreader (alreader.com I think)... still no button support, but at least scrolling is easy.. dunno if it reads your ebook format though, I only read .fb2
If you find smth better, post please =)

hello, i am looking for some software, which can read pdb files (e-books). i was using haali reader for my axim x51, but topas doesnt have any HW navigation (up,down) buttons. its hard to use haali without these HW buttons.
is there any other software like haali was? (except mobipocket reader)

nice sw for reading ebooks on the TOPAZ
Hi, because of the very nice display of my topaz i tried different e-book reader applications. Most of them (some of the above mentioned too) didn´t even start on the topaz (WM6.5).
Finally I tried "mobipocket reader" as part of the free mobipocket desktopsoftware. It runs perfectly. Different modes of turning the page, autoscroll function, fullscreen support, editable background and font colors.
The Windows desktop Software also is very good for my needs. It´s able to convert a vary of formats (.pdf, .xls, .doc etc.) into the mobipocket mobile format and exports them automatically if my topaz is connected via activesync and software started. You can also buy ebooks @ mobipocket.
The mobipocket mobile reader does exactly what I want !!!
look for mobipocket.com
Mobipocket
mobipocket works just fine for me too
yes, using Mobipocket too, since is the only one i've found for WM. not very special but works ok, good interaction with the desktop version.
