Guest Spott Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 hi, i just decided to get rid of my ancient palm device and ancient mobile and got a mda vario instead. now, i read a lot of ebooks and have spent the past 8 hrs trying to get an ebook reader onto this thing (i am about ready to smash it aainst the nearest wall) i got microsoft reader which says on one site it works with wm5 and on another that it doesn't. it installed but i can't activate and/or use it. the error i get is that my os is so old it does not require activation... does anyone know how to get this to work or a good ereader that doesn't require all this fuffing about? or would i be better off just to take this thing back for a refund? thank you for your help...

Guest Emad Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 What type of ebook? .lit? Tomeraider? .pdb? I use haali reader for .pdb and .txt and a lit convertor to convert lit's to text. Mobipocket reader too from time to time and clearvue for .pdf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Emad Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 cbrs are just winrar files with .jpegs inside. Extract and view with your image viewer of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
