Installation notes:
If you already have an older version of Microsoft Reader installed, you'll need to uninstall Microsoft Reader, then install the new version. If your version of Microsoft Reader is installed in ROM (which means it was preinstalled by the manufacturer), you cannot uninstall Microsoft Reader. You can, however, install a RAM version of the program with your ROM version.

To ensure you've got the new version of Microsoft Reader on your Windows Mobile device, follow these steps:

1. Tap the Start menu, then Settings.
2. Choose the System tab, and select Remove Programs.
3. Highlight "Microsoft Reader." Tap Remove to uninstall Microsoft Reader. If Microsoft Reader does not appear in this list, your version is installed in ROM: you may continue through the rest of these steps.
4. Download the latest version of Microsoft Reader.
5. When prompted, indicate that you'd like to install Microsoft Reader. You'll need to confirm this option on your PC and on your Windows Mobile. Be sure the device is cradled when you run the installation program.
6. While your device is cradled, visit the activation pages to activate your Windows Mobile: sign in, then choose Activate my Pocket PC.

Full installation:
- Windows Mobile 6.0 - Windows Mobile 6.1: v2.4.2 here (2.3 MB) or its mirror here.
- Windows Mobile 2003 - Windows Mobile 5.0: v2.4.1 here (2.3 MB) or its mirror here.

Finally got Reader to play my Audible.com files. Best thing since sliced bread to delete the Audible Reader and gain about 10 megs back. I just wish that MS Reader would also support pdf books. Fat chance. I know. I am refering to purchased .lit, .aa, .pdf content not free content.

Have you tried using Convert LIT (http://www.convertlit.com/) to convert your eBook to html? I've done it with a number of .LIT files and am using uBook as you suggest. Give it try!

Why does Micosoft continue to put so little effort into this reader? With all their billions and programing ability, why does this program remain the most basic reader out there? No landscape mode unless you have WM2003SE??? Still no auto-scroll function? How is it that freeware readers developed by individuals kick this thing's butt? If µBook would only support .lit files, I'd remove this thing from my pocketpc ASAP.
