I discovered Microsoft Reader for the Pocket PC this week.  I've been digging my Dell Axim for over a year now, but never thought to check out Microsoft Reader until now.  I've been denying myself something great!  I'm reading Pollyanna (you know, Haley Mills?  Walt Disney?)  as my first MS Reader Pocket PC read.  I have read novels on my Pocket PC before, just finishing Mysterious Island by Jules Verne (for the 3rd time.  So besides having weird reading tastes in general, I'm a Mysterious Island nut...)  Before discovering MS Reader, I got all my electronic texts from Project Gutenberg as straight ASCII files.

About MS Reader, I like the intelligent bookmarking where it knows the last place you left off (with my ASCII Gutenberg reads, I entered “69” at the point I stopped, then do a search when I started reading the next time.)  With MS Reader, I like the ability to change the font size, the table of contents feature, library management, and navigation aids in general. 

I enjoy reading from my Pocket PC much more than a book, especially in bed at night.  Reading electronic texts with Microsoft Reader becomes the first reason to consider buying a Tablet PC.  On second thought, who wants to bring a Tablet PC to bed?

For buying ebooks, I've been enjoying creating a lengthy wish list at Fictionwise eBooks.  Amazon often beats their prices, but I like using the Fictionwise site.  Any other ebook recommendations welcome.

btw, at bottom is my sweet .NET Pocket PC theme I picked up from pocketpcthemes.com the other day.
