Application Description
Palm Reader is an intuitive and powerful program for viewing electronic books (eBooks) available from Palm Digital Media and other web sites.
Unlike other eBook readers, the Palm Reader shows text one page at a time as paper books do. This provides for a much richer reading experience than with the typical "giant scrolling document" approach that most other programs use.
Palm Reader features include:
Allows you to add your own bookmarks and notes to your books.
Allows you to search the book contents.
Supports styled text, chapters, hyperlinks, and pictures in Palm Reader eBooks.
Can be used with small, large or bold fonts.
Able to read most Palm DOC format eBooks.

I like the palmreader and the palmreader pro. I especially like the big font, and the ability to use margins and underline important information.
I really never have any trouble or problem with the software and am glad I purchased both.

Each of the handheld editions include a toolbar. However, the toolbar on the Palm OS edition lets the user customize it by selecting which icons to display: open, bookmarks, contents, notes, invert screen, clock, menu and back. Where as the Pocket PC toolbar includes text labels for Book | Go | options, a quick find icon as well as battery and page meters. When this icon is tapped on the user can select a specific page to turn to.

My mistake for two stars on my previous post. The alignment problem was due to the Font Hack that I used on my Clie. I hope Palm Reader will work ok with Hack in the future release.

The text alignment is inconsistent upon paging. For example, if I go to the next page, the last line from the prvious page would show up either as line 1, line 2, line 3, or line 4. It is FRUSTRATING!

100% reliable, 100% usable. Why would you want more? Works like a real book but better!
Can't see why someone would have so many books that they'd need to categorize them in any way - way too much space hogging the card. (Perhaps he reads more in less time than I do?)
Suggested additions:
-multiple book memory where I left off
