I use Mobipocket because I am a Mac user and the programs you mention
are for Windows PC's only. Mac's do not do .exe files. This is the same
reason I use the Palm OS because unlike Pocket PC's, Palm is compatible
with the Mac OS. Sometimes things aren't always what they appear to be.
Mobipocket works for me because I do not spend day after day out
caching because of the 50+ hours I work every week and my Army Reserve
obligations not to mention my wife and four children. Be careful about
your choice of words in the future. I am far from crazy......
