PalmFiction is up to v 0.14t, and is stable on my device. Category support is broken, but since it can navigate the file system and use sub-directories, you can categorize that was instead.

I have Weasel here, and have used it since it was called GutenPalm, but I like PalmFiction's support for standard ASCII text and RTF files.

I will also try LionDoc, haven't heard of this one before. Looks interesting, but I didn't like CSpotRun - though I can't remember why .
CSpotRun was intended to be tiny and fast on older hardware, and I ran it happily on my Handspring Visor Deluxe and later Visor Pro. But it didn't support categories or bookmarks, didn't support color, and couldn't see files on a card.

LionDoc adds color, categories and bookmarks, and support for files on a card as well as support for zText. Card support is quirky, however. I use it here for fast access to stuff in RAM. For stuff on a card, PalmFiction or Weasel get the nod.
