I'm looking for an ebook reader from my Treo 650 and I've come across these:

eReader (http://www.ereader.com/)
Plucker (http://www.plkr.org/)
HandStory Basic (http://www.download.com/HandStory-Basic/3000-2355_4-10188703.html?tag=lst-3-2)
Read Them All (http://www.download.com/ReadThemAll/3000-2355_4-10258812.html?tag=lst-0-1)
Adobe Reader (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readerforpalm.html)

Any recommendations?

I'm mainly looking for something to read my pdf ebooks on. Something light and simple. Though if there is one where I can highlight and it can create a list of text that I highlighted that would be great.

I've got eReader on my T/X, and it works well. You can highlight text.

I don't know if you can make a separate list of highlighted text or not, but you can make a list of highlighted text in a single note within the document, with your own explanatory notes added if you wish, and each highlight will link back to the page of text.

I haven't fully explored the possibilites, mainly because it is quite simple to use and I just read. I use bookmarks to mark my place, and only tried the notes section to be able to answer your question more carefully.

My T/X came with eReader installed - perhaps Palm can offer you a trial version if you ask?

Thanks for the tips emkay!

I think eReader provides both a free and pro version. I'll test it out and see.

I use mobipocket but I don't think it handles pdf's. For pdf's I use adobe reader.

^ thanks for the tip.

Yeah, I just noticed that some of the ones I listed are DOC readers and not PDF readers.
