1. Probably not, and no application could ever do so; book reading (multiple
long chapters, with text) is a very different user interaction from Web or
AvantGo-like reading (single short chapters, with text and graphics).

2. I can't answer for others :)

3. Yes; iSilo. Plucker and iSilo are perfectly complementary; also, much of
the literature I read is not available in Plucker form anyway (see
www.blackmask.com). 

I have used TiBR Pro and PalmReader in the past but found, on prolonged use,
that they fell short for a variety of reasons and I have not reinstalled
them; there is almost always a way of obtaining a file in either Plucker or
iSilo format.
