Thanks for Brennen Guillory for reminding me about MS Reader is only for PocketPC but not for other Win CE devices, and he emphasize that peanutpress.com is better for more ebooks collection and also more compatibility to other ebooks format and PDA platform. I installed peanutpress reader in my iPAQ several weeks ago, and for my own personal preference I don't really like it, due to looks of the fonts, the program is not supporting ClearType yet. I just hope it will support ClearType in the next release of Peanutpress reader.
Here's Brennen's reasons on why he thinks peanutpress reader is the best:
"1. I find their reader to be far superior to Microsoft Reader - many more features, better interface etc. It doesn't use clear type but that really doesn't bother me at all. The files are also much smaller than .lit files.
2. They have an encryption medium already all worked out. It may not seem ideal but at least I can get most of the Reader books out there that are offered only for the desktop but not for PocketPC - and a lot more that aren't.
3. If I only had a WinCe device and not a PocketPC, I could still read the books, I don't have to pine over not having a PocketPC (which I do have)."
