I have tried using Microsoft Reader on my PocketPC 2002 PDA, and frankly, the software is just plain broken. The activation process was convoluted and inspired absolutely zero confidence. The free trial books i downloaded wouldn't activate properly. I wasn't about to purchase an eBook only to be forced to call customer support in order to read them. I imagined having to fiddle with registry values, dll version conflicts, activation codes, and ultimately be forced to reinstall my OS over a frickin ebook. No thanks.
I think the combination of eBook and PDA is great, if only it worked.
With all the mainstream media attention, I'd be willing to bet Symantec and Network Solutions are hiring. Does anyone have statistics on the relationship between the size of the virus outbreak, and the revenue that these companies take in?

Obviously I meant Network Associates
