The built-in ebook reader handles TXT files, not PDF files. Look around for a PDF reader, there are at least two.

There are actually 3 there's one in either QTopia or GPE.

But GP2Xpdf is the best (Not that I'm biased)

you could also convert from pdf to txt (there is a free command line utility on the net) then use GReader2x.

That's the best option. Conserves time and battery life.

I agree. You can convert PDF to text using the freely available pdftotext utility included on the XPDF package.

Or with Acrobat reader, which is also free.

xpdf is the best!!!!! :blink: and batteries arent really a problem as i have about 20hours of battery life and a gp2x ac adapter, thanks for the information all, if anything makes the gp2x an even better buy in my mind, its the community
