What sort of ebooks? Adobe Reader for Palm is available but you need to
first convert the PDF on your PC so it can be read by the PDA version.

Isilo < http://www.isilo.com > and Plucker < http://www.plkr.org > are
two popular formats.

Free ebooks are available for these formats at various sites like
www.memoware.com

Many kinds of ebooks exist. They are in many formats, and need readers.
The Zire probably has a reader installed that reads Palm's own format.
Free books and education at www.memoware.com.

I agree about Plucker. Also, Plucker Converter to make those awful Palm
PDF books into something more friendly to read.

I'm not sure. Plucker has that "convert" function on a PC, and that
includes pictures. If you don't have pictures for an e-book, I don't
know how you can obtain them separately.
