Anyone know of other doc readers besides Repligo and Clearvue ? This is one major appeal to me and greatly increases the value of my new 5600. The only time I'm able to read is almost non-existent but I was able to finish the whole Da Vince Code on my old pda. I have Clearvue but I can't see how useable it is after scrolling right and down a few times. It's incredible that it can read practically all doc types and in its original format without conversion. It appears that Clearvue is geared to being able to read Office docs and not actual reading.

Then I d/l Repligo's trial and tried it. Sure it took awhile to convert a 300 pg doc file to the repligo format. But wow!!, the Flow feature and the display sideways feature really worked well. I can actually read the docs and there's even a bookmark feature. I'm not sure how it can handle embedded images but with a screen that small, that will really be pushing it.

Before I plucked the slightly stiff $25 for Repligo, anyone know of any other reader?

i would kill for a real microsoft .Lit ebook reader ... i have soooo many books!! ****, no way to read them in a good way. MS should realllly get on the ball and port one for smartphones for the love of all!! then my 5600 would be totally perfect for me

i make a lot of ebooks using the ms word plugin. oh well

Same here. I've lotsa of lit files. For some reason, they're slow as molasses on paging up and down on my previous vga pda. I'm loving this repligo, the flow and speed is great.
