I know you can move the taskbar to either side or the bottom, but you can't "duplicate" it to go to both sides. Is there another viewer out there that handles most if not all of the formats if they are unDRM'd?

I don't know of any readers for the PC that allow you to read as many different formats as Calibre.
MobiPocket is limited to *.mobi, *.prc, and *.pdb (I think).
eReader is limited to *.prc and *.pdb.
Kindle for PC is limited to *.mobi and *.prc.
FBReader is limited to ePub, *.mobi and *.prc (I think).
I didn't list standard formats like *.txt, *.rtf, etc.
As far as calibre reader goes, I haven't installed it on my T91MT yet. I do have Calibre on my desktop though. I played around with it this afternoon and found that you can open the reader separately from the rest of Calibre. I have a Windows 7 64bit PC. On my PC I found the reader here:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\ebook-viewer.exe
If you have a 32bit PC, try here:
c:\Program Files\Calibre2\ebook-viewer.exe
Make a desktop shortcut for
ebook-viewer.exe and you can easily open it by itself. I'm going to try just copying ebook-viewer.exe to my T91MT and seeing if it will open. I'll post back.
