iSilo for iPhone?
It would appear that a version of iSilo for iPhone/iPod Touch is most definitely in the works. In fact, it may arrive any minute! At least, that my interpenetration of these links I stumbled upon:

Sounds like the ones it won't read aren't in those formats, and need something else to read them. ______ Dennis |

iSilo used to by my personal all-time-favorite app when I was still stuck to reading e-books on Palms and Pocket PCs. It does an amazing job converting HTML pages for offline usage, and it's also quick in rendering pages.
I am not so sure if it's still a powerful tool as it used to be considering that most devices have some kind of online connectivity nowadays. I wish iSilo would abandon its own file format in favor of one of the more common ones. |

I looked at iSilo back when, but preferred Plucker, an free, open source offline HTML viewer for Palm OS, with an associated cross-platform desktop app to handle the conversion. I don't use Plucker for reading web pages offline -- I use it for HTML ebooks. About 3,200 of the 3,500+ ebooks on my PDA are in Plucker format. If I used iSilo, I'd be doing the same thing, and connectivity or lack of it would be irrelevant. Quote:

I transfered over some .pdb books I had on a hard drive from my palm days. I suppose some of them may have been corrupt hence the read errror.
