I bought the Touchpad to be a sheet music display, and I've made a nice PDF file of all the arrangements I play with my band, only to discover that the Adobe Reader on the touchpad apparently will display thumbnails but not bookmarks in my PDF file. I tried to work around it by creating a table of contents with hotlinks to each song, but apparently, hotlinks aren't working in the WebOS version of Acrobat reader, either.
Am I missing something or am I truly screwed here?
Is there a third party PDF reader that I should be using?
Anyone got any better ideas for a workaround?
Picsel smart office
Picsel Smart Office should do the job, chapter links are working and there's a search function too.

Hey I am looking for a good ebook reader. Basically I have tons of ebooks in txt format (from projekt gutenberg) and some pdf ones. Right now I am using a purchased version of Repligo to convert it and view it on my pda, the viewer is really really nice... now I want to switch to an macbook and wanted to ask the comunity if there's a better way like an comfortable txt viewer? I'm aware of XPDF for PDF files which is nice but kind of not that comfortable to read books
THX in advance

uBook was a very good I used to use, but I just convert the txt or html files into Microsoft LIT format now and use their reader.
Not sure if uBook is still free though.
i'm using isilo & isiloX for converting to pdb/prc i like it. i was risen on mpx2oo,& it was 1st ebook reader i found. other readers i know:haali,ubook as alanjc,mobipocket.
i have a freeware frontend gui which use ms lit encoder to make just about any format into lit books which can be used in ms ebook reader on pocketpc's
can post then name when i get hold of it
Haali Reader is great
Thx for the hints. The Haali Reader link
is really great
Hi all.
Ive been looking around, but I cant seem to find any good ebookreader to my vox.
The integrated adobe reader - lite, sucs for reading pdf files, as it cant rearrange the text, and word isnt any real alternative.
Do you know any god ones, and what formats does it take, freeware etc?
Greetings.
Haven't really tried any of these, but these 2 came with the ROM I use:
Microsoft LIT Reader
CHM ebook Reader 2.5
For PDF files no Windows Smartphone reader is perfect, but this included in Documents To Go is the best among them. It is the only one that word wraps the PDF text, so you can read the book without scrolling around.
Unfortunately, there is no PDF reader that can reflow your document like Adobe Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC, but the Word Wrap mode of Documents To Go PDF Reader is pretty close.
For non-technical literature i advised AlReader 2 (freeware)
This programm works with TXT, HTML, RTF, DOC, FB2, PDB/PRC (PalmDOC, zTXT mode 1), TCR
PDF is unsupported
And what about MobiPocketReader ?
AlReader 2.
I simply cant find it in an english version. You have one?
Is moby pocket reader good?
Thanks for your replys.

You have to try yourself.
It's free, with PC/PPC/SP client with few format convertion.
Yes, Alreader2 is the best reader ever, with the russian menus even. ;-)
With a reader like this for the iPhone, maybe I let my Vox at home.
A new solution for ebooks on smartphone....giv it a try!
hi there....i suffered from this kind of problem....i had over 3000 ebooks in .lit format....my idea is this. use isilo v4.36 for smartphone....if u are really interested i'll put it up here.....
there is a freeware called amberlit .lit converter available. my advice is, do a batch conversion of .lit files, then use isilo on ur mobile. mine too is a htc s710....my novels are great/ pm me....i hav the full working version.
try and njoy!
I interested in getting a Tab and my primary use for it will be reading documents and books. What are the best apps for the following formats:
PDF
epub
cbr/cbz
chm
djvu
I have tried quite a few of the free ones and so far they all suck for one reason or another.
If there is a good pay one, I would not be averse to giving it the ol' 24 hour test.
Tab comes with think free office app. Best pdf reader on android. For comics/cbr/zip use acv (android comic viewer). For books, kindle, nook, aldiko, there are loads
For ebooks, I really like fbreader. kindle and nook have really big fonts that I can't seem to shrink enough. fbreader doesn't have a store, but it can access calibre if you have it set up for opds.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm looking into them. One format I forgot to mention is HTML. Is it better to convert that to a different format or search for a reader (or browser) for it?
I use ezpdf for my ebook reading. My current favourate with auto crop feature.
Ita difficult finding a good pdf reader. anyone tried good reader on the ipad? its a great pdf manager. Im going to email them to see if they are working on an android version. Adobe reader is good but slow. Others just feel cheap.

I work for a large newspaper company in the UK so I have access to hundreds of papers in PDF format, each day I grab my local one which is usually over 40 pages and around 120Mb in size.
The ONLY app which doesn't crash at the size of the PDF is the free office app that came with the Tab, pinch zoom or double tapping is quick & smooth and moving from one page to the next is seamless
the Adobe app never even opens the first page!
I use the built-in ebook reader, and could bend it to my will, also it supports epub
With a well setup calibre adding new books is easy as 1-2-3

Exactly, the ThinkFree office pdf reader is teh BEST pdf reader on android. It renders pages with no lag, ayman you can't have tried this if you think its not adequate, try it.

Have you tried ezPDF ? It works brilliantly on my Tab, it is great for reading technical documents in column mode (with double-tap gestures, pinch/stretch zoom, and horizontal scroll lock). The text-flow view is pretty handy too. It is fast, regularly updated...well worth the purchase
for ebook reading, i use aldiko. its on the market.
I use think free apps and Adobe pdf reader. Adobe pdf reader for android is free from the market.

For PDFs, ezPDF has by far the best features.
It remembers the page, it remembers the zoom, and it even can auto-zoom into columns and jump to the next column. It also can lock the horizontal position.
Unfortunately it does not have the best rendering quality, text does not look as sharp as with adobe's reader.
Adobe's is fine with the best rendering quality but still lacks features. Not even remembering the page-number is fully implemented.
thinkoffice is just a basic fast pdf-viewer that can not even keep the zoom-level.
Bloody sick of Thinkfree Office - it doesn't remember the zoom level across the document! I need to double tap repeatedly for each page to make the document zoom to page width. Going to try EZ PDF and sees how it turns out.
Ezpdf is the best android PDF reader period..

Another vote for ezpdf. They recently added annotation tools launching this pdf viewer back to the top of the stack for me.
+1

Ahh.. thanks for the tip, just tried out ThinkFree for PDF, never thought of it before. Works great with no lag! Was previously using Aldiko for PDFs and while they opened fine it was really laggy.
I find the free Adobe pdf reader slow and laggy and far from the slick experience of web browsing and viewing pictures.
Are there any alternate PDF readers that are as slick as WP7 itself?
I wish, the included reader doesn't even reflow text just like IE. Hopefully in time
anyone can suggest to me the best pdf ebook reader or library for pdf other that acrobat reader for htc sensation xe? i dont know if the READER app from htc can read pdf and i cant figure it out..
I think the Kindle app can read PDF's now.
If you don't like that I believe Aldiko reader can too.

I agree, I tried several epub readers, and moon reader has everything I wanted. Several features to change background, light, navigation controls, you can control the automatic velocity with the volume up/down buttons, even you can show a mini status bar with the chapter, the page and add the time, and the battery level, is great!!
