    How to Find E-book Software For Your Pocket PC

  1. Step 1

    Research the different e-book formats available for pocket PC's. Most e-book reading software comes in a version for your pocket PC. However, you may want to find the one that you like the most. In order to find the easiest to read e-books on your pocket PC is to research the different software's such as Adobe Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC's.

  2. Step 2

    Use Google to find reviews on your particular pocket PC if you haven't done so already. See if others who have purchased the same pocket PC have found a particular e-book reading software to be better than another with your model.

  3. Step 3

    Carefully look at the websites with the software for the different e-book formats that you are interested in. Some are better than others and it pays to check out what each has to offer the e-book reader.

  4. Step 4

    Choose the format that you would like to use to read e-books on your pocket PC. This is all about personal choice. Sometimes your choice might reflect on the particular brand of pocket PC that you have and its operating system.

  5. Step 5

    Once you have chosen the format that you want to read e-books in on your pocket PC, use your pocket PC's handbook to learn how to download the software to your computer and your pocket PC. You will then be ready to download e-books onto your pocket pc and begin reading!

Tips & Warnings
  • Download more than one software to your pocket PC. Sometimes e-book sellers only offer one or two different formats and it might not be the one that you have on your pocket PC. This is why it's ideal to choose at least two softwares.
  • Make sure you have a copy of Microsoft Active Sync on your computer so you don't have any trouble when downloading the software you've chosen to your computer and pocket PC. Without this software you will be unable to download anything to your pocket PC.
  • Be sure that whichever software you download it is the one especially made for pocket PC's, if you download the one that is just for your home computer, it won't work.
