having tried mobipocket and ubook, i'm still looking for a good e-book reader compatible with wm5 (dell axim x51v)...
any suggestion? I only need it for pdf files, btw. I have PocketXpdf installed, though the "fit screen width & height" option doesn't work in combination with the "zoom in" option: use the latter to enlarge the text to make it readable and the text won't stay within the screen any longer.

What are the new/improved features in WM2003 SE?
Landscape mode.
All the rest is just for micro$oft to brag about their operating system :wink:
Kidding, it´s the following:
- VGA and QVGA that support high-resolution displays,
and a new landscape view.
The following modes are supported.
# Portrait / Landscape QVGA (240x320, 96 dpi)
# Portrait / Landscape VGA (480x640, 192 dpi)
# Square screen (240x240, 96 dpi)
# Square screen VGA (480x480, 192 dpi)
Not all devices will support switching between modes, i.e. landscape-only, portrait-only or square-only devices are possible.
- Phone Edition improvements.
Previously, you were unable to compose a number directly from the Today screen, now with this update, it will be possible. It will now also be possible to send a Short Message Service (SMS) directly from your contacts list. Lastly, there have also been some improvements on Voice Recognition features.
- Other Enhancements
Transcriber will gain the ability to use shortcuts. These will let users write a short code phrase that will be replaced with a much longer piece of commonly used text. Shortcuts can also be used to launch applications.
Much like Windows XP does, the Start Menu will now show the most frequently launched application icons. There is a new section in the Start Menu which will display the most frequently used applications. This is divided from the list of applications that appear because they are stored in the Start folder.
The second edition will also get WPA (WiFi Protected Access), which was developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in an attempt to make wireless networks more secure.
The new version of Pocket Internet Explorer will also be able to force web pages into a single column, similar to the way NetFront 3.1 and Opera does. This will make reading web sites not formatted for handhelds easier.
That is what i got from reviews and news.
Ive seen other changes to, as a nice improved loading Icon that runs much smoother than the original one. (Maybe to create the illusion of something actually loadin :wink: )
UPDATED, see 2nd post for more details.
Touch Reader is a text file reader that has touch scroll.
This program is still in early development, and is not very pretty at all! (Hey, i'm a programmer, not an artist)
There will be a new version with UI improvements soon.
This program is written in C++ using just the win32 and GDI interfaces, so it should not require any libraries, and should work on any windows mobile/pocketPC version (Although i might have to re-compile it against a different SDK, let me know if it works.)
It will work on any screen size, although on larger screens, the text and buttons get too small at the moment (i'm working on it).
TODO:
- Save/resume last position of files.
- Adjustable font size
- Show percentage and line number
- Goto line/percent
- Kinetic scroll (as in flick and it keeps going)
- Optimisation (Draw to buffers)
Planned for future:
- Graphics in UI (ie. skinning of buttons, etc.)
- Chapter index, goto chapter
- Unicode/multibyte file support
- More file format support
There is one known bug that I will NOT fix:
If a word is too large to fit on the screen in one line, it is just clipped, not cut and wrapped.
I have also attached the Win32 binary if you want to just take a look without putting it on your phone.
Update 8/11/09
- Moved menu to bottom
- Enlarged buttons
- Enlarged file list
- Fixed Exit button problem when resizing (switching to landscape/portrait)
- Fixed issue with scrollbar
- Fixed issue with file list when resizing (items going off the bottom of the list)
Any pictures?

How easy is it to read PDFs on the tablet where you're viewing it a full page at a time? (PDFs that are designed to be printed on A4 sized paper or technical book sized paper).
I've got a ton of ebooks, manuals and other such documents in PDF format. I would love to use the Tablet as a PDF reader but only if it can be comfortably read while viewing a whole page at a time. I don't want to be doing any zooming/panning around the page.
Just to clarify, this is when holding tablet in portrait mode. Also, assume the PDF pages are like that of a typical technical book.
Depends on the PDF no? One with large margins and tiny text won't be as legible as one with bigger text. But I find most PDFs look good in portrait mode.
I bought the GT 10.1 primarily for reading tech docs. It works very well for this purpose, but a few things to note:
An letter sized page is a bit small. But after zooming (Acrobat PDF, or QuickOffice) in to eliminate the margins, it is still smaller than normal, but only slightly.
An app that automatically cropped margins and allowed inverted image would be perfect. I have not found one yet.
Landscape mode is effectively same size (width) as letter. So 100% reproduction, but you do have to scroll.
mantano reader can crop. aldiko is cheap against that reader.
Yes, comfortably without zoom+pan
I use repligo reader for its excellent graphical page rendering, giving the clear text effect to scanned pages, even at full screen width view! Use expdf primarily for annotation but repligo for pure reading pleasure, even turning pages is faster in repligo, hence highly recommended.
repligo ist the fastest one but it lacks in formatting options.
I am happy with repligo's page rendering, it makes my over zoomed scanned pdf books more readable
Big fan of ezPDF, well worth the two bucks
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
the adobe reader android app has the "rescroll text" option which is very good at utilizing the whole screen and sizing the font and line changes accordingly.
I have a Nexus 7(3013) flashed with Ubuntu Touch.
In the PDF viewer I can expand documents to about 200% in portrait, a bit more ~250% in landscape mode.
I need to use the tablet primarily to zoom in and swipe around to view large PDF air carts and checklists with the tablet mounted on the control yoke.
Is there a file I can edit to allow more zoom % flexibility?
(can't do anything right now until I replace cracked LCD)
Should probably not be too hard to implement. You might want to talk to the developers of the document viewer app: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-docviewer-app
