While playing around with my Palm z22 I installed the eReader software that comes on the CD-Rom. Once its installed clicking the icon shows the list of books installed, and I was a little disappointed to find only one book, the Miriam Webster dictionary. I realised fairly quickly that Palm probably makes other titles available from their
own website, but most are not free. Googling for Palm ebooks brought me to the following free ebook sites,
MemoWare and
Manybooks. The rest of the search results seemed to simply link to each other and back to advertisers, or back to commercial bookstores who charge a couple of dollars to download some of the same books available for free on memoware and manybooks.
So this is a request to anyone who uses their Palm z22 for reading ebooks, do you know of any other free sites where I can download eReader books, or any other format, that will work on the Palm z22. I don't know whether these are still copyright or not, but I do remember as a boy reading EE Doc Smith's Lensman series and I would love to get hold of these if they're available.

Also I thought you might be interested in the applications I install on my PDA. Like you were kind of saying in your battery life post, it's amazing the functionality that the Z22 has and I see your posts covering some of the basic things you can do on it. But there are a couple extra applications that I really like to have that you might find interesting to try out. The most important one by far is Bonsai. It's pretty expensive but well worth it and you should definitely get the version that comes with the desktop application too if you get it. It basically replaces the memopad but is strictly called an outlining program not a notes program. There is quite a history on outlining programs, especially for the Mac, but basically they are great for taking and organizing notes. It's great for notes, lists, blogs, tasks, projects, outlining, and all sorts of things. Some other good applications I use are below.
Good luck finding the book you were looking for and have fun with your PDA.
