I just dragged the ebook file into the Palm 'Quick Install' on my PC and then hotsynced it to the PDA. The Palm Reader software listed the ebook when I checked.

Of course the PDA comes with The Wizard of Oz and The Last Of the Mohicans, so that should keep you quiet for a while. :p

at the risk of sounding stupid, after the palm reader listed it you could pull up the ebook and read it?

Well, if you've downloaded plain ".txt" ebooks from the like of Project Gutenburg you'll need to convert them to the doc format with something like MakeDocW (http://www.cognitiveroot.com/makedoc.htm) first. By default this will also add the resulting file to the Palm at the next hot sync.

Once you've hot synced, it will appear automatically on Palm Reader's book listing.:cool:

I havent tried to view an .ebk (E-Book) file so far.

There is some good info on this format here (http://www.webspirit.com/e-book_faq.htm)

Good luck :)
