I can't speak for COMMON practice, but I convert FROM pdf INTO plaintext. I've yet to see a small-device PDFreader which wasn't a complete dog. The FBReader program is rather nice, though I prefer to just use the text editor. (leafpad, actually) FBReader handles various formats, including HTML files for when you simply can't live without italics, bold, etc.
As for the newsgroups below - they're not suitable for online reading. They carry binary attachments which are downloaded and then used on the device of your choosing. Files posted are in various formats, most common being plaintext, html, and pdf, though more "exotic" formats also appear frequently. Be prepared to convert to your chosen format. >> alt.binaries.e-book and >> alt.binaries.e-books >> have provided an embarrassment of riches over time. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
