That's the most obvious one to me too, Pie, but I expect there are other apps that would be desirable to other folks, and I'd just as soon they be able to do them if they like, even if those apps are completely disinteresting to me.

Touching on the Palm again, for every app I find useful on the thing there are about a zillion others that I don't care a fetid pair of dingo's kidneys for, but somebody else obviously liked the idea enough to make them. I'd say over 75% of the ones I have and use I didn't know I wanted until I saw that somebody else made them available. I'd just like the Reader to have that same sort of potential.

At the same time, I am in no way suggesting that the Reader doesn't perform its designed task to my satisfaction (it does), nor that it needs extra add-ons to make me happy with it (I'm already quite happy with it), just that it would be nice if those add-ons were possible, should a need/interest in them arise down the road, and that it's kind of annoying that the possibility seems to have been deliberately removed.
