finger friendly ebook reader?

[chrisd1a1]

hi folks,

I currently use ms reader and all of my books are in .lit format

does anyone know a finger friendly reader that will let me easily change pages on screen? I hate using the hardware buttons on my phone

cheers

Mobipocket (http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp?Language=EN) reader is awesome, it reads .lit formats and you can turn the page by tapping the screen. you can also install the desktop version on your pc and it will convert and send books to your phone.

wish mine did ! lol

Halli reader, you can simplely tap the screen to the next page

[chrisd1a1]

have looked at both but they don't read .lit

are there any besides ms reader that does?

[sariel2413]

Considering .lit is not an open format and msreader's a very good reader....I doubt you'll find much of anything other than msreader to read your ebooks.

And you don't need to use the hardware buttons. You can tap the page-number or the arrows next to the page-number if you really want to bungle along without the hardware buttons.

Personally I prefer using the directional pad on my hx4700 though the up-down on the side of my axim x5 was even better (stupid pda broke though :( ).

has anyone got the cab for tiny reader I understand that may work


got the trial version, does anyone know what the limitations are?

mobireader is free, has a cab installer, and not only has tap screen for next and previous page but has an autoscroll feature where the text smoothly scrolls up the screen at whatever speed you prefer. I found this useful when working on a cross-trainer and wanting to read at the same time. Made a holder for the phone (HD2) and left it scrolling, never had to touch it again till the workout had finished. Its a perfect reader for text files although, I agree, I dont think lit is supported as thats an MS format.

Got the new reader on Wm6.5.3 on HD2 and testing that out now if I can find any details.

I used to read lit files on ms reader but then switched to the far superior mobipocket. I use the free ABC Amber Lit Converter (http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html) to convert to html, which can be dragged onto the mobipocket desktop reader.

check this ebook reader out, might work well for you using the converter that jez83uk mentioned.

Freda ebook reader.
