Users can also use the free software library and utility called Calibre to communicate with the Reader and manage their digital library. Calibre can convert many. Sony touts its new line of Reader e-book reading devices as Mac-compatible, thanks to the introduction of new software. That software — eBook Library Software 3.0 — is now ready for download.

MobiPocket Creator-Conversion Software

App

There is a free Mobipocket Creator software called Home Edition that you can use to create and publish your own ebooks, personal databases, photo albums, and more from templates.

In addition, there's a more advance Mobipocket Creator called Publisher Edition that can import Microsoft Word and Text Files, as well as convert Adobe PDF files to MOBI format. This works well for people who own a Kindle 2; it allows the conversion of a PDF into a more user-friendly format, and can eliminate some issues with compatibility.

Microsoft Reader

As you would expect, Microsoft's free ebook reader isn't particularly user-friendly. It only supports LIT format, and you can't import files; you have to register before you can view any ebooks, in fact. But you'd better use Internet Explorer or Netscape, because in typical Microsoft fashion, you cannot activate the reader with a Firefox browser or any other browser.

Despite these annoyances, Microsoft Reader has a lot of features. It supports four different font sizes, five clear type settings, full screen, an optional text-to-speech download, and offers highlighting, bookmarks, notes, and drawings.

Plus, you can view annotations and rename or erase them at any time. It also allows users to create LIT documents from Microsoft Word documents using an additional add-in. More features include Zoom for Pocket and Tablet PCs, as well as rotate and resize. There are search options and dictionary support too.

Microsoft boasts over 60,000 titles to choose from on their website, and there are some free ebooks too. The free ebook reader software is also available for Tablet PC and UMPC, as well as Pocket PC.
