New eReader Client and eBooks on Powells.com

Couple of quick notes:

eReader: I finally upgraded my eReader ebook reader software on my Palm and wow, is there a difference. This new version has nice high res. color toolbar icons and is very attractive. Well worth the upgrade.

Buying ebooks from Powell's: Somebody mentioned it pays to shop around for ebooks. I am finding that Powells.com has excellent prices for encrypted ebooks from the major publishers. I just bought an ebook by a well known author and saved $2 compared to another store. They offer MSReader, Adobe and Palm (eReader) formats. The last is key because I prefer the eReader DRM scheme over all the others, plus I like that reader software too.

Like most ebook stores Powells gives you an online bookshelf and the purchase experience is very smooth. They also have a Wishlist feature which I like to have so I can add books that I want to buy at some future date.
