    WM5 software to read PDFs

    ClearVue PDF seems to spread the text off the page with several of my pdf ebooks, which means i obviously cant read it.

    can anyone recomend a (preferably free) program to read PDFs that works better?

    thanks in advance!

    If you wanted to stray into the pay for arena, I wouldn't hesitate to try the evaluation version of Foxit Reader for Windows Mobile. I prefer using the free Foxit Reader 2.2 for Windows to Adobe reader bloat anyway, so I'm probably biased.

    Mobipocket ebook Reader

    I'm sure this says...

    Tired of scrolling through this 250 page technical manual in PDF? We've got the answer. Drag and drop it into the Reader Desktop and read it on any mobile device. It also works for Microsoft Office files, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and RTF TXT files as well. You can compile your favorite lyrics into an ebook or your best cooking recipes.

    ...wonder if it really means it and does what I think.
