callofwild TreoCentral.com offers a rather thorough review of the eReader app for the Palm Centro, calling it “a ‘Kindle-lite’ experience”.

I’m not sure whether the OS the Centro is running is the same as the Garnet that my Palm and Palm-compatible PDAs ran, but the screenshots certainly look identical. If so, this is the latest iteration of the original eReader, which will still run on any PalmOS device with enough memory to load it. (I have it on the Clié 415 that I originally bought for my Dad but decided to keep after he didn’t like it.)

It gave me a feeling of nostalgia to see the old familiar fonts and screen displays again. The iPhone version of eReader looks nice and works great, but there’s just something about those old Palm PDA fonts that takes me back to the good old days.
