I've seen that FBReader supports plucker. But a lot of the sites that I want to use are for mobipocket, microsoft and adobe. does FBReader read any of those?

Well, except maybe one: If you're into transcoding certain *.lit format ebooks that you might have -- errr... -- "found", transcoding them into *.pdb books actually gives better results than using FBReader's native (I'm not even sure it's the reader's native format) *.fb2 format.
You know, I heard. Like, some dude told me this. Not that I've done it myself. Obviously...

If it is legal to do so where you live, the DRM of MS Reader .LIT files is easily defeatable using ConvertLIT. This program also "explodes" .lit files without DRM. You should end up with HTML files, images and a .oeb file. If you make a zip file of them all and rename it .oebzip this will be directly readable by FBReader.
It is well known that .LIT is not secure, but publishers keep using it anyway and many buyers of .lit e-books are doing so for personal use without format lock-in.

Curiously enough, I found that the pdb format gives me much more control in FBReader than the fb2 format.

With the explode option, I can do as wallcraf mentioned and read them on my N800 with FBReader just fine.

I paid for the ebook and I should be able to read it on any device I want to and not just the ones that MS or someone else decides I should use. Taking the N800 to the bathroom is much more convenient than taking the Tablet PC :-)

Thanks in advance!!
