Assuming you want to read on line, and
have connectivity.
I looked at iSilo back when, but preferred Plucker, an free, open source offline HTML viewer for Palm OS, with an associated cross-platform desktop app to handle the conversion. I don't use Plucker for reading web pages offline -- I use it for HTML ebooks. About 3,200 of the 3,500+ ebooks on my PDA are in Plucker format.
If I used iSilo, I'd be doing the same thing, and connectivity or lack of it would be irrelevant.

I wish iSilo would abandon its own file format in favor of one of the more common ones.

Such as? It needs a format capable of handling color, text attributes, embedded images, fonts, and hyperlinks. Which would you suggest it use? (And in the process, do you suggest it
drop support for its own format, thereby rendering existing content in that format unreadable?)
