ebook reader software for tp2

[MadSquabbles]

i've tried just about every ebook reader on winmo. none of them did what i wanted and i ended up getting a ipod touch and using stanza. i hate carrying 2 devices but until someone gets a comparable winmo app i'll keep my touch.

what stanza does that i love is that can organize books within the app. i can make collections and put them in chronological order. all the other apps only go by alphabetical order and no option to reorganize.

i really haven't tried any of the apps in the last few years as the ipod touch has been my main reader. if there is an app for winmo that allows organizing books within the app i'd really appreciate it.

oh, and it's gotta support epub - i've tried zulu and freda and don't like either for lack of the features above.

So your main criteria for an ereader is that it organizes book in chronological order?

yep...

for instance, you got all the tom clancy jack ryan series, all the nick linnear series by v lustabder, all the bourne series, hannibal series, etc...

with stanza i can make a collection out of each set. with in each set i can manually arrange them so that i can read them in chron/published order without having to memorize what goes first or looking it up everytime i'm ready for a new read. i could make subfolder after subfolder and then rename all my books to have a 1, 2, 3 etc in front of them but why should i? calibre keeps the collection info and i can do it in stanza.

i can also display books by author, tags/categories, recently read, or recent downloads. stanza was the only reason why i bought the ipod touch - it had the best ebook reader that i could find plus it fit in my pocket. the kindle was my choice until i found stanza.

seems like there's a really nice ebook reader for android that may be as good as stanza. i forgot the name but it's a paid app for about $2 or free if you tolerate ads.

I've been using Freda. Its a great freeware app for reading eBooks. It reads ePub (DRM-free), HTML and TXT format books and has a really nice touch screen interface.

You can find it here: www . jim-chapman . net / freda /
