I know that Popelli has been great except for a weird thing about breaking up the file into pieces. You can still access the whole book, but you have to jump from file to file. A little odd but I got used to it fast.
That's weird.

My reader device is a PalmOS PDA. By preference, I get content in HTML and convert for Plucker, an open source offline HTML reader. But I can handle Mobipocket, eReader, PDF, Word, RTF, and plain text in several forms (including in a zip file.) The only current format I can't read is ePub, but I can convert that on the desktop with Calibre if needed.

All the files are handled as single files, and in some cases large ones (like a couple of Dore illustrated volumes of Don Quixote that are 30MB each.)

I'll be curious to know why Popelli needs to break things up like that, and whether pReader does the same thing.

Meanwhile, I'm delighted that it's working for you.
