It's called ReadManiac. It's been released open source but was always free. Works on any java enabled phone. Takes a little getting used to but only about 10 minutes to figure out how to load, change books ect. I've got a 256mb memory card in my comupter and already have over 40 books in it (everything from the bible, to the Dresden files, Sherlock Holmes, Shakespear, Jungle book and even XANTH Happy Hunting There’s a GREAT program I’ve been using for the better part of a year, will read any txt file you can find or make.

I like the format of the books he has available, very readable on even a small screen! I agree these are public domain, but he Is spending his time to make them usable on any cell ;phone and nice on the eyes to boot. Better than some of the programs that you can use to convert the books yourself! $3 is not much for the convenience, especially since a paperback version of just ONE of these books would cost $5 and up...maybe a contribution method might be better, say $10 for unlimited access to his good work? Something to consider.... I have been in contact with John on and off. I like the format of the books he has available, very readable on even a small screen!
