E-book Reader Progs

[loc4me]

Hi. I am attempting to understand what the differences are between all the different ebook readers.  Could someone explain to me which is the best one and why. Or even if you dont know the differneces, which one you use. I have seen FBreader, Opie-reader, Just reader, zReader and there are more too. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

On my sl5500, I like OPIE Reader and Just Reader. I use both, because both have pros and cons for my usage. I like OR equally for almost everything, but one of my main usage is the Net Bible which is in HTML format. OR will read it, but doesn't load the hyperlinked footnotes as fast as JR. I also use both, because I use primarily reference books and  it allows me to have two open and switch back & forth between books more easily. I tried FB Reader, but couldn't get it to load any books, even though it seemed to install all right. tried Guttenbrowser, but it was too slow. Not sure about zReader, never used it.

I use OpieReader on my SL-5500 mainly because I read books from the Baen Free Library (plus the assorted CDs they release with their books), which are released in MobiPocket format. I also do a lot with Plucker, and OpieReader does that as well.

The only downside I have found with it is that sometimes, it doesn't suffer suspend/restart cycles well, and that when it crashes after a restart, it will go back to the last place you saved. I really need to email Tim about this, I just haven't had time.

thanks for the response. I have been kinda leaning towards just installing a couple of them and finding out which ones work best for what i will be using them for.
