iPod as an e-book reader

0

Yes, PDF sucks as a way of displaying e-books on small handheld devices. But if you’re masochistic enough to want to read it on an iPOD, you can with the PocketMac iPOD edition. I suspect that won’t let you read user-hostile DRMed PDF, the kind unfortunately favored by so many publishers. But it could be handy for reading open PDF books from places such as eBookAd. Plus, the program also works the RTF and Microsoft Word formats and allows your iPOD to do other PDA-style chores–pretty handy, given all storage available. Remember, iPods now come with anywhere from a gig to 40G of space.
