</div>It might be worthwhile to wait until Steimatzky figures out that it is in<br>
the book trade, not in the electronic equipment business, and follows<br>
Amazon in making available a free (as in lunch) software version that one<br>
can use on equipment that one already has. I think they may have failed<br>
to think through the need to provide hardware support for malfunctioning<br>
gadgets. I'm using the Kimble PC on both desktop and laptom machines (in<br>
a WinXP virtual machine -- it will work under Wine as well) and am very<br>
happy with it. Bonus surprise: when I buy a book through the desktop<br>
machine, it shows up automagically on the laptop as well, complete with<br>
the place at which I stopped reading last time. What can be better.<br>
<br>
In what format does Steimatzky publish its ebooks? Is it something exotic<br>
that it is not supported by one of the freebie software readers?<br>
