Hi All.

I have an iPAQ 3800 that uses Microsoft Reader as standard reader to enable me to read ebooks.

My question: What other formats, if any can be used on this device to read ebooks?

If I must install others, what is available that is for free?

Regards :rolleyes:

Hi AD.

Thank you for that.

If I may clarify the question a bit more. My iPAQ, (to my knowledge) only reads the ".lit " format ebooks, is that correct or can I read other formats with the bog standard installed Microsoft Reader?

Regards :confused:

MS reader can only read .LIT files. But you can install other readers and you will be able to read most other popular e-books format. Mobipocket and eReader mentioned above provide free readers for their e-books.
