I installed Adobe Reader on my Palm T|X because several sites are offering book downloads only in Adobe format. I allowed the program to "configure" itself to my device, but it doesn't seem to support any T|X features, especially the wide screen. The font size is either too large or huge and no finer font size is available. Between the large font and the small square screen, there is nowhere near enough information on the page to actually use it for reading. My thumb would wear out before I finished Chapter One.

At the moment I am successfully using Palm Reader and Mobipocket and reading internet HTML files with my Palm Blazer browser, but I find the Adobe Reader for Palm to be virtually unusable. I could read a small file with it in an emergency, but could never put up with it for a whole novel. I can't see why so many self-publishers choose Adobe for their download format. Am I missing something here?
