e-Reader for TP2

[JasonMeudt]

The 'best' answer is to use Freda as your e-reader, but to use Calibre to change the book format...

With Jim working on Freda the way that he is, the software is fairly decent... Re-format your books with Calibre and you will be much happier.

Just my $0.02...

Thanks! Don't know why it didn't cross my mind to consider conversion...again, new to this. And I do like Freda the best out of all 4 readers I installed (can't even get the MS Reader to work...says it's not activated...??). Calibre will be my best bet for now.

MS has an update for MS Reader that fixed the activation problem for WM 6/6.1 (Don't know if it workd for WM 6.5 as I am on the stock Sprint ROM). Go to http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/ppc.aspx to download it. Then use a Window's Live profile to activate it. You have to use ActiveSync to do the activation.

I agree 100%. Trust me, I've tried them all as it was one of my top five reasons for getting an iPaq well before Microsoft was even thinking about making CE on smart phones. I have been really disappointed with every ereader I've tried and it made reading books very frustrating (plus in most cases I would have to convert some of my books anyway). Freda is amazing and paired with Calibre (which is a great windows ebook reader as well), conversion is a piece of cake!
Read away my friend!
