I like my EZ Reader but it has a lot of limitations with HTML. These limitations are for raw HTML and all the html derived formats such as ePUB, CHM, HTML, LIT. The HTML is very basic, no italics, no bold, no sup, pre won't wrap, no CSS support, no href. There is table support but it doesn't deal with too wide a table very well. LIT has no toc support and page turns are really slow. Font sizes are not controllable directly and are too small IMHO. Hyphenation is terrible and no way to turn it off. Images in html type files are supported but there is no control over where they appear on a page and they may be split between pages. Forget accurate page numbers, particularly the last page.

I generally like the palmDOC file reader (no TOC support however) but the reading experience is ok except for hyphenation.

Book marks a limited to 5 except in mobipocket and if you change zoom the location of the bookmark will change.
