Palm Digital Media Adds Spice to Latest eBook Application

Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Palm Digital Media, Inc., a leading publisher and retailer of eBooks for handhelds, today spiced up it's offering with the announcement of Palm Reader Pro for Mac and Windows. The enhanced eBook reader application lets users create unique reading environments, or "themes," and share them with others.

"This is a fun and creative way for people to stamp their eBooks with their own unique style," said Mike Segroves, director of business development at Palm Digital Media. "Digital technology lets us do things that can't be done with printed materials, and we are taking advantage of these technologies to provide our customers with new ways to personalize and enjoy their eBook libraries."

Customers can create textured "papers" such as parchment, marble and notebook, and imprint them with their own graphic designs or photographs. They also can choose from a palette of background and font colors, and an array of digital pens for highlighting text. Like the original Palm Reader for Mac and Windows announced in July, the enhanced version also comes with a selection of built-in themes. Original themes can be shared by uploading them to Theme Central on the Palm Digital Media website for others to view and download.

Palm Reader Pro for Mac and Windows also gives customers improved note-editing capabilities, including attaching notes to highlighted selections. The application also lets them control the line spacing of their eBooks, choose two-page viewing, and peruse their library with improved Find options. It includes Webster's New World Vest Pocket Dictionary.

Palm Reader Pro for Mac and Windows runs on desktop and notebook systems. Palm Digital Media also announced that both the standard Palm Reader and Palm Reader Pro for Windows support Microsoft's Tablet PC version of Windows XP, allowing users of Table PC systems to take full advantage of this new category of notebook computers.

Palm Reader Pro for Mac and Windows is available immediately and can be downloaded from www.palmdigitalmedia.com for $9.95. Similar enhancements to Palm Reader Pro for handhelds are expected to be announced early next year.

Palm Digital Media, formerly peanutpress.com, Inc., is a subsidiary of PalmSource, Inc., provider of the world's leading operating system for handhelds and smart phones, houses a library of more than 7,000 titles.
