If they're not DRM-ed (and you didn't buy any of those rip-off DRM-books, did you? ), fbreader will read them just fine, with the exception of tables.

Or maybe this site (http://search.cpan.org/~cpb/Palm-Doc-1.19/mobisucks) can help. I haven't used it myself (the only conversions I ever had to do for fbreader was from *.lit to *.fb2 ), but it might work.

We got asked the same question over at WOM World earlier in the month jazzbass12, Karel was right in saying the FBreader will do the job. It’s available here http://only.mawhrin.net/fbreader/maemo/ if you didnt know where to get it and wanted to try it out. Hope that helps bud
