There's no effective difference between the older PalmReader and the new eReader save a prettier interface and the ability to use custom fonts. I like the prettier interface enough to use eReader rather than PalmReader, but never bothered with the custom fonts. I use an OS5 port of Fonthack to modify the fonts used in any case.
PalmFiction is sweet for text files and things like RTF files and Word docs (which it displays as plain text).
I've also been accumulating a fair number of Mobipocket texts, courtesy of conversions by the fine folks at MR. Mobi 5.3 for PalmOS runs well on the Zodiac for the most part.
Oddly, I tend to use eReader, Mobi, and PalmFiction in landscape mode, but still prefer portrait mode for Plucker. It's a matter of font support. My preferred Plucker font (a 12 point Bitstream font with an embedded mono space font included) reads better in the shorter line lengths.
