Greetings and facillitations,
Well I have just in one outrageous step into the nanoworld crossed the gateway from a basic phone only phone to the big does everything Dell Streak. I think I will haveto go to university and do my doctorate in computer science to get full functionality.
But one of the ressons I choose this portable computer was because I wanted to get into ebooks without having a dedicated reader. I wanted it to do other things like make phone calls, surf the web and get my emails.
So I am pretty happy but I don't know how to go about choosing the right program for ebooks.
I read a lot of PDF files but am confused about the choice of other files that ebooks come in. What is best for my Dell Streak and do I have to purchase a separate program. If so which is the best for the Streak?
If there is anybody out there in cyberworld who can point a 52 year old in the right direction he would be forever greateful.

Thanks

Miles2605
