Palm Pre
Is anyone using a Palm Pre for reading ebooks? Mine is supposed to arrive today, and I've been looking into ereader apps for it. There is "Classic" which emulates the old PalmOS so you can run things like MobiPocket and Palm eReader. And there is a guy over at PreCentral who is working on porting FBReader to the Pre.
Has anyone had any luck or heard any rumors along these lines? |

I've read that the eReader folks are working on a version for the Pre so you don't have to do classic/compatibility mode.

I can confirm that MobiPocket works in Classic, but it s a less than satisfactory solution. Classic takes the already too small screen and cuts 1/3 off of it to emulate the old Palm navigation area. You end up with twelve lines of about twenty five characters. Way too much page turning!
I can't wait for that FBReader port! |
