Re: Ebook Readers for WM

Jim,
Thanks for all the work on Freda. I have been using MS Reader since I had purchased .lit books from baen.com (www.webscriptions.net) for over 6 years now. I have been able to configure Freda to look like MS Reader and also use gestures to change the page (which is most excellent on a TP2). I have found a couple of things that I am interested in addressing: First, Freda seems to have a large memory cost (~10-15%) so I have been closing the app, vs. running multitask (no real biggy, starts up WAY faster than MS Reader). Second, I downloaded Calibre to convert the .lit books I have (all I have are DRM free). I was unsucessful in getting any .lit books to convert to EPUB. Not too worried, all the books I purchased can be re-downloaded in EPUB format so its not a show stopper. Anyway, Jim, Excellent job. Keep it up!
