Cool beans!

This is a function of how Adobe licenses its Reader technology. In the old days, Adobe would have produced their own reader apps for WinMobile, Android, iPhone, etcetera.

Under the new Adobe approach, vendors get to pay money to Adobe to develop their own Reader and then Adobe gets to make money from all the ebooks that are bought for that Reader. It is a wonderful business to have the monopoly on ePub DRM. This means that phone makers like HTC try to lock you in to one particular type of DRM and one particular store front, and mobile providers, like T-Mobile (with B&N Reader bundled with its HD2), try to lock you into another.
Oh... that is just messed up.

I've been putting off breaking my Sony ePubs, but it's time to apply the sledge hammer.

I am sure of that. Actually I remember reading for a workaround not integrating it into Sense UI.
It became available 2-3 weeks ago, search xda or ppcgeeks. Nothing special, uses lots of memory. It looks and works better on HD2, because of larger screen, multitouch and more memory. For TP2, I'd recommend Freda for epub.

Hmm, from what I can discern the program also needs Windows Mobile 6.5. And I'm guessing it won't like my Saga's 320x320 screen. Phooey.

I just remembered this, got around to downloading and installing the CAB. Unfortunately, the PD books it includes won't open, and I can't see any way of importing my existing ePubs into it for reading. Is this only good for geting books through Borders? If so, I've already got a B&N reader and 2 ePub readers, I hardly need this.
