Not a free one to my knowledge. Have you tried PalmPDF yet? It's a freeware program. Ben

I have not tryed PalmPDF but I can convert the PDF to text files but from there I am not sure what to do please help. PDF is to slow to read book.

There is an app on the eReader site that lets you create your own e-books called eBook Studio, but it's not free ($29.95). You could also check into MakeDoc for Windows (freeware), which lets you convert text files into "doc" format pdbs (an older Palm e-book format), which I believe eReader can handle.

I used to use MakeDoc several years ago (it was cheaper than buying Docs To Go

) on my Palm IIIx. It worked fairly well as long as you didn't need a lot of formatting for your text. I have not tried eBook Studio.
