So, for the first book in Eric's list, http://www.archive.org/details/acourseofreligio00gerauoft the on-screen reader is at http://www.archive.org/stream/acourseofreligio00gerauoft I tried it out in my 3 year old, 2nd generation iPod Touch over the flakey campus WiFi and found that it displayed quite nicely. You have paging controls, but can also use touch gestures to scroll and pinch the page larger. Like Diva, it uses lazy loading techniques, so you don't have to wait until the whole document is available to start reading. Tom
