I’ve been using eReader on and off for a few weeks and thought I’d post some thoughts.  I was looking for a simple application that was free and also let me upload my own books that I already had collected.  eReader can read eReader PDB format.  There are tools to convert most formats into PDB so it’s not to big of a hassle to get your own text into a PDB format.  You can also find pre-formatted free PDB files at places like http://manybooks.net/

When you open eReader it will present you with a list of your installed ebooks.  They can be sorted by Title/Author/Date.  Once you tap a book it takes you to the reading view directly to your last page.  There is no need to make a bookmark or other action to remember your place it automatically remembers your place in each book your reading.

The reading view can be full text, display graphics and a tap bring up the menu to return back to your library or access settings/zoom and other options.

One of the features I’ve found most useful is being able to load your own books that you may already own from having a palm, or have converted from other sources.  From the library menu select the “+” in the upper right corner and choose “Another site” to type in the url of a website where you may be storing some books.  The web page you type in will display inside eReader and if you select a PDB file it will be downloaded and added into your library.

I’ve gotten some good use out of eReader and it’s earned a permanent spot on my iPhone.
