That I would expect. The question is whether eReader for the iPhone will do so. I suspect it will, but who knows?

However, it did not work for txt file that contains Chinese characters. eReader for Windows cannot display Chinese correctly (or at least I didn't make it work).

No surprise on the Chinese characters. A Palm doc file is a plain text file, containing 7 bit ASCII characters. Chinese characters (whichever rendering system is used) can't be represented in 7 bits. They require Unicode, and what you have is no longer a plain text file.
I haven't tried to use eReader on Palm OS or Windows to handle non-Latin character sets, so I can't help you on getting Chinese displayed correctly.

As the firmware 2.0 for iPod Touch is not yet released, I cannot test anything. But gathering from what Dale said, even when I can successfully read a plain text pdb on eReader for Windows, I cannot get the pdb to my iPod. =( (Unless I somehow can upload a plain text file to eReader library, then sync with my iPod Touch, yikes)

It sounds like that might be the case.
No such problems on my PDA: I use a USB reader to dump files to an SD card, and put the card in my device. As long as the files are dropped into the correct locations, the programs that use those files see them.
