eReader Pro for Palm price drops to under $5

The changes at eReader have already started now that Fictionwise has purchased the company. Instead of changes for the worse, which is unfortunately typical of a buyout deal, this one is actually better! eReader fans with Palm OS devices can get a great deal on the eReader Pro software, which is now just $4.95.

You can certainly make do with the free version of eReader, but the extra functions of the Pro version might justify the five dollar expense. In the Pro version, you'll get an electronic version of the Merriam-Webster dictionary for word lookup, theme customization, text justification and line spacing controls, plus Auto Scroll functionality. Also included in the Pro package is an eReader version of "The 9/11 Commission Report" (note: don't read in the bathtub or you're likely drown during spats of boredom; you've been warned), "The Time Machine", and a bestseller sampler.

This is great news out of the eReader Fictionwise folks, who've already helped put us at ease by addressing concerns with a direct note to our readers. Something I'd love to see in the next version of eReader for Palm devices: over the air purchases that we enjoy on the Windows Mobile side. Actually, that version is free as well...
