I have also used Avantgo, plucker/jpluck, Handstory, Mobipocket, and keep coming back to iSilo. There are things that I don't like about all of them on my clie, but now that iSilo has made it easier to do scheduled conversions, it stands as my reader of choice. But..... There are a few features I'd like to see iSilo add to the viewer. A few small changes would really put iSilo over the top. For instance the ability to show the date and read/unread status in the document list view. A little color would be nice there , also.(no, I'm not counting the new blue scrollbar in ver.4!)
