Should I be jealous of the T-Mobile HD2s that have the Barnes & Noble Reader? It looks nice in the pics.
Why is it there isn't a good looking eReader for the HD2? As far as I can tell the major ebook sellers are Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, and Borders/Sony. None of them have a compatible reader for Windows Mobile, except maybe B&N but only if you buy the T-Mobile HD2...
I tried this: HTC_eReader_Reader_1_0_20113925_00 cab -- No Manila Required [UPDATED 3-6-10]
but it doesn't work.
Mobipocket won't play a Kindle book so I'd have to buy the old format, which Amazon says they aren't going to support anymore. It also requires a D-Pad to work.
Other readers I've seen are really dated, and you need a D-pad to turn the page.
The HD2 has such a big beautiful screen, there should be a great book reader to go on it. What is everyone using?
You could be jealous of the Barnes & Noble reader, sure.
But why? When you can have it yourself!!!

Yay!
Wow - Thank you! I clearly need to refine my search methods, I didn't see this. I'll be trying it out now.
Hopefully this will get Amazon and Borders to step up and get their programs running!

In case you guys haven't heard of it... Much better than Google Reader through PIE (my previous reader solution).

I agree, I think this is a great application which is still being developed, but Microsoft has already featured it on their main Windows Mobile site. A friend of mine actually works for Viigo, and I can tell you that they do have a great team of developers who I'm sure will continue to make the program better.
Installing it and managing your feeds is a breeze, and the program just looks ultra-sweet. Hard to compete with Egress, but I currently have both on my PPC right now, and prefer to use Viigo for its clean looks and usability.
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

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!
Dear all,
I am running a Samsung i780 with WM6.1. I'd like to be able to read some RSS feeds, and have had some success in the past in using the free pRSSreader. That worked really well, but there is a feature missing that I would really like to have. I'm hoping that someone here might be able to recommend a suitable reader.
The problem with pRSSreader, was that I'd read postings that I thought were interesting and then flag them to read later. However, the program wouldn't keep them for later - instead it would ditch all the postings irrespective of whether they had been flagged or not.
So I'd like a way to either make a favourite posting list or save postings that I think are interesting, so I can read through them again at a later date.
Any ideas if there are some readers on the market with this functionality?
Many thanks,
Tom.
There's one called SpeeedReader that's worth checking out if you're a Google Reader user -- it hooks into your Google Reader account so your desktop and pocket feeds stay nicely in-sync.
The only problem is that it doesn't support finger scrolling and can be a bit crashy (at least on my Kaiser).
Thanks for the suggestions!

I went for YomoMedia Reader in the end, as it allows one to save
interesting posts whilst on the train and since its a web app (with a
PPC application), you can then view them on your PC in their full
glory when you get into work!
Cheers, Tom.
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.
Hi guys!
I really really want this pad. But im scared that it wont work for what i need it.
I need it to work well with stylus and to take some notes while being on phone. I dont want to use the hardware or software keyboard, just handwriting.
Best would be to write over a pdf file (orderform) that i can send by email when im done.
Would anyone who has the pad want to show how well this screen is in this matter?
Ive searched everywhere for a week without any luck
I would also like to see or have some feedback on the possibility of note taking or adding comments to documents with a stylus.
If anyone does this I wold love to know how well it works and which stylus is recommended.
sorry for the Bump?
check out ezpdf or repligo, you can annotate on any PDF and also use freehand to write, sorry but i dont do videos and if i tried, it will be crap.
did a quick google search and have seen this for ezpdf which I use.

Thanx! What a great software on that video.
The xoom looked decent when it comes to writing with the stylus. Would you say the Transformer is as good?

The transformers display is better than the Zoom as it uses an IPS panel and has much better viewing angles. The software itself is as demoed, one of the best tools for annotating documents and you should easily be able to fill in PDF forms with your handwriting.
If you are going to use handwritten notes then there are a few available, they are:
Handrite
Tab notes - still under development but trial available. Looks very promising.
Genial writing
With a combination of the above software and a good stylus such as a Boxwave one or one that I've ordered by Wacom called the bamboo stylus which I should be receiving on Monday, you will have the right set of tools to fulfill your requirements.
