I have the Pro version installed on my Palm as well as my Pocket PC. Why is it my favourite? Good selection of commercial books available, books compatible with both of my PDAs (so I can have books loaded on both devices and read from either one), ClearType support, full screen support, ability to change font and background, ability to add hyperlinks, bookmarks, highlighting, annotations and even edit text .. Their DRM function is fairly straightforward, though only allows you to download commercial eBooks for two different platforms. This may present a problem when the Smartphone version comes out, as I'll have 3 different versions .. I also have the Pocket Oxford English Dictionary and Oxford Paperback Thesaurus eBooks, so I can swiftly look up definitions of words I'm not familiar with. I really like the dictionary implementation of Mobipocket - just tap on the word and a pop-up will appear with the definition, as well as a "more" link if you want to see the entire definition in full-screen. GREAT news! Maybe we'll see AvantGo next? :) P
