But all facetiousness aside, (1) means that it's free software, not tied to any particular manufacturer (actually, it's open-source, meaning that I publish the source code, so anyone else is free to modify and re-publish it, subject to GPL2 conditions). And (2) means you can't read PDFs with it. Actually, I'd not recommend reading PDFs on mobile phones and suchlike (WinMo or WinCE) devices, because PDF documents don't generally work well on them, PDF layout being non-reflowable. My recommendation would be to use a converter (like Calibre) to convert your PDF into ePub, and then use an ePub reader (like Freda).

If you've got further questions do please ask (post on this forum, or PM, or email to home@jim-chapman.net).
