It would be great if the reader supported PDB ebooks. ;-)

e-books are usally in Rich Text Formate.
E-books are usually in PDF format....

ok fine then <_<

But it is SUPER easy to just copy and paste your pdf ebook into a text editor and save it as RTF. B)

Multiply that action by 300+ and i'm sure you can see why a few of us might be hoping for PDF support.

You have 300 legal ebooks? I highly doubt it but I have been wrong before. <_<
Plus who has 300 books with them at once? Really I don't think that is much trouble, its going to take you like at least a week to read one book and it will take you 10-20 seconds to copy and paste. :rolleyes:

Maybe I am not understanding something here.

Well technically a lawyer might have 300 legal ebooks (yeah I know that's not what you meant but it ammused me. :)).

Actually both dr.s and lawyers might actually have a need for that many books for real but they usually have super expensive PDAs and PPCs for that sort of thing. I think what he meant though was copy/pasting each page, which isnt really neccesary as you should be able to copy the text in every page simultaneously...although I have to belive there has to be an easier way, the whole point in wanting a PDF reader is to not have to convert anything.

Quite correct :D.

That said it runs ok, loads a 10Meg PDF (slowly) and seems to support some control from the console. It needs more work to do anything useful but its a great start.

Good work theoddbot.
