It does, but the problem is that the file explorer functionality you get is seriously brain-dead - it only lets you see files under certain specified locations ('My Documents', storage card and the like) and it treats subdirectories in a bizarrely unhelpful way. That's why every WinMo application has built its own different way of exploring files. I understand that WinMo 7 will sort this out, if Microsoft ever get round to launching it.

Well I'm not in it for the money (I have a day job as an IT Manager in a Bank, for the money). But if you want to buy me a beer, contributions are always welcome and can be sent to my PayPal account (email

In addition to having a lower percentage of screen real estate available to text, and not having a full screen mode to make up for that, it's a freaking labyrinth of menus. And the built-in library browser/store is practically a separate application in terms of the ease of going back and forth between that and the reader, so "built-in" is actually a generous way of describing it.

Yes I am a former user of ereader on WinMo - and one of my guiding principles for designing Freda was "I want to make something that has the least possible resemblance to ereader"
