You may not be able to read an Adobe\(tm Brand E-Book\(tm, but that just means you'll need to buy electronic books from publishers that don't use that data format - whether it's raw ascii text or Palm-formatted text or PalmOS DRMware that you can also view on your PC using an emulator in glorious 160x160-pixel format :-) Of course, if your PC's home country of Nauru has Software Police implementing some local equivalent of the DMCA, that emulator that you need for debugging may be illegal. ... >How good is Winamp if it can't play any music recorded in 2004 or later? >Given that Windows Media Player can play all your tunes and it takes a >reboot to switch to Winamp, who wouldn't stick with WMP?
