Thanks for letting us know. uBook was always by far my favourite bookreader when I used to read on a PDA. It has rather a quirky configuration system, but when you get to grips with it, it's extremely powerful and flexible.

How was performance on your device? I have an older version on my Zodiac, and even the ARM version is sluggish enough to be nearly unusable. I'll try the current one and see if is any better.

Performance was always fine on the Pocket PC. I used it on a variety of devices, with no performance issues whatsoever.

That's what I thought. Performance is not fine on Palm OS devices.
