Actually if you support eReader, PalmDOC is basically a freebie. Similar with MobiPocket you get PalmDOC. PalmDOC uses the same compression method as these two products. There are advantages to PalmDOC over text in that most Text implementations are line based and have hard returns at the end of every line. This is a pain to read on a Reader. PalmDOC is very scalable in that it is paragraph oriented rather than line oriented. It permits you to choose the font size and font type and displays just fine. The reason to support it is that there is a huge database of eBooks present in this format. For fiction reading it is adequate so long as you don't need italics or bold text.
