Good ebook reader software for windows mobile that's NOT MobiReader?

can anyone recommend me a good ebook reading software for windows mobile? i've been using mobireader but it sucks ***. the page turning tapping more often than not highlights a word instead and tries to bring up the dictionary, there's no option to set landscape view as the default starting up view, and it frequently loses landscape orientation when i minimize it to do something else and then come back to it.

Can you get e-books in PDFs?

There is eReader and yes you can do ebooks in PDFs.

Well just use a PDF reader like Adobe or something.

i use Isilo and Mobipocket reader. both work fine 4 me. For PDFs i find foxit reader for pocket pc but not latest v2 build 701, i use 1.4.
you can try ereader also for book reading.

I also like iSilo. I'm note sure but I think iSiloX will convert pdf files to iSilo format.

I'm an advocate of eReader. Works like a charm on my TP2 and allows me to switch between devices and platforms (WM and BB) seamlessly.

I use Ubook read, dunno about the gripes you have since I never read in landscape :-p But it is nice, and the stock background it uses is yellowish and is easy on the eyes compared to a flat white background.

I use Microsoft Reader, I know most people hate it, but works fine for me, I just wish I could turn pages by swiping.
