Palm Digital Media's PalmReader Pro has been renamed to
eReader Pro.
What is the marketing strategy behind this name change by PDM's mother company
PowerByHand?
PowerByHand owns PalmGear.com, Palm Digital Media.com, PocketGear.com, and Power Training, and - this one is new -
eReader.com. eReader.com is a web-based store, which leads me to believe that
Palm Digital Media is soon no more.
eReader.com V2.5.0 changelog:
- The application name has changed from Palm Reader to eReader (obviously)
- The default toolbar uses large icons, in color on Palm OS 5 handhelds. Note that this will cause books to be repaginated when first opened after the upgrade.
- Support additional screen orientations on TapWave Zodiac handhelds.
- Fix a bug where soft hyphens were not drawn if full justification was on.
- After selecting text in a book, choose the "Copy Quote" item to copy the selection to the clipboard [Pro only].
- Fix a bug that could cause highlights to be placed on the wrong page [Pro only].
- Requires 400K free memory.
