After using Plucker for a year or so, I have decided to leave it behind for iSilo.
 
I use SiteScooper to grab sites, and plucked from the generated HTML.  iSilo will do this as well as Plucker does.
 
I have decided to switch for three reasons, primarily, all related to the Palm app.:
 
1. Plucker's autoscroll can't keep up with me unless the scroll is set to too many pixels, and at that point the text is so jumpy I can't deal with it.
2. I never really got used to having to jump from the bottom of one page to the top of another. (I like to use one program for both web content and e-books.)  This feature really made the percentage at the top of the screen meaningless, and I used to refer to it habitually with PalmReader, so I miss it.
3. Large document are really slow to load with Plucker.
 
iSilo is not free, and I will miss that about Plucker, as well as the helpful advice and hard work of the team of developers.  Thanks to all.
