Excellent.... I bought a copy and now I'm free from lugging copies of books around when I read.

Well, I prefer to wait for the free Mobipocket Reader. They already work on all PDAs platforms and they can display formated text and HTML, eBooks and eNews. And their new Office Companion if really great.
I hope they will provide a wireless access to eNews.

Yep, I also go for the Mobipocket reader.
Was looking for e-books in Dutch ( Nederlands) and found very little in the two formats of e-book.
Why the hell is there no standard?
I bought e-book from Epocware though, but hardly can use it.

Q What are electronic books?

A Electronic books (eBooks or e-Texts) are files with .pdb or .prc extension. They are also called DOCs.

Well I may be wrong but I found a lot of other formats.
Or am I doing something horribly stupid? Which is always possible.

I agree about mobipocket. However there isn't a 9210 version unless I missed something (likely probably).

Yes Epocware definition of an eBook is interesting, but I guess they mean it in the context of their program...

The best place for .pdb files is probably Memoware, and of course you can create your own easily enough.

The Mobipocket Reader for Nokia is available, now.

A nice feature would be that when you close the App it remembers the last page you read - so that you can just continue reading the next time. MS Reader on the PC does this and it is really nice - far better than using bookmarks.
