Everyone’s Still Gonna Call It “Ubook”…

There’s a new book reader out there for Pocket PC users. �Book (pronounced “microbook”) is a freeware reader that’s chock full of features. According to the website:

�Book is a simple and lean, yet powerful ebook reader for Windows and Pocket PCs that can read HTML, TXT, RTF, PDB and PRC (not secure) ebook files. It can read directly from inside ZIP or RAR files, and supports BMP, GIF and JPG images. It offers many customization options including: Portrait and Landscape display, Choice of font type, color and size, etc…. It Also has a resizable/skinnable User Interface. �Book is improving on a regular basis and best of all it’s free!

While it supports font smoothing, it does not support ClearType. It also seems limited to internal fonts rather than using Windows TrueType fonts. But if you’re looking for a good looking, full featured alternative to Microsoft Reader or Palm Reader, this could just do the trick.
