You can always use Adobe acrobat reader for Ppc, which is free and quite good imho, and has lots of books on this format

Have you tried µBook?

It's got everything you need - it reads PDB, PRC, TXT, RTF and HTML with graphics. It's got a ton of options: font type, color, size, background color, even link colors and stuff. Plus, it's skinnable....

... Oh and did I mention it's free? No reason not to give it a shot.

I actually think Acrobat Reader for PPC is of little real use. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but given the choice between it and MS Reader, I'm going with MS Reader every single time. I find that I have to do a tremendous amount of scrolling around a PDF on a PPC to see everything, it's just not worth it most of the time.

I don't know, I guess I've never had the same problem with MS Reader as some people, certainly not as much as Dan seems to have :) It's far from perfect I admit, but I don't find it to be THAT bad.

That uBook Reader looks promising though... I'll be checking that out when I get home. Won't be fun converting all my eBooks to a compatible format, but might be worth it.
