eBook reader for Prism

Can anyone out there recommend a good eBook reader for the visor prism? The SuperDoc reader is supposed to work well with coloured devices...but my fonts come out fuzzy.
I've tried peanut reader but without Cleartype its pretty hard to read

Thanx

Well, I like ISilo better than anything else. In my experience, font dithering doesn't work all that well on the Prism.

I love the PALM Reader

http://www.peanutpress.com/reader.cgi

Get some neat fonts and color schemes. I read most of my books under this program.

CSpotRun or Wordsmith. Wordsmith IS a free doc reader.

ebook reader for Prism

I will add a second vote for Isilo. The registered version includes a desk top program that converts different types of files to a palm readable file.

iSilo is also my favourite Palm Reader. But I use a modified Cspotrun to read documents directly from a Compact Flash card.

I am using a bunch of them!

I use iSilo for most of my docs, mostly because of the VFS support on my MemPlug- it seems ot be the one that opens the quickest, and slows down the overall scanning the least.

I like Wordsmith, and it does VFS as well, but very slowly.

I also use Palm Reader, mostly because it is built-in to the MiniJam, but it also does VFS OK. (I also like the price!)

CSpotRun is built-in to MemPlug and works great for most documents, but can be rather slow to load. I liked the way the FlashPlush handled this better than I do the way MemPlug does.

I cannot say as I prefer any one program or feature set big time over the others, but I am actually USING iSilo the most.

thanx for all the replies.....
for those using wordsmith, do u guys enable cleartype?

a lot of font enhancers claim to work great with the prism but don't seem to, is it because the prism's resolution is too low?

Palm Digital Media now has 2 versions of the Palm Reader (formerly Peanut Reader). The new one (I think it was designated Palm Reader Pro and for which you now have to pay something) has a lot of different fonts and displays just great on Prism.

I use

I use either MobiPocket or Palm Reader Pro right now. Both allow you to adjust text color and background color. Mobipocket is because I get books from Baen in that format
