E-Book Reader

I loved the one on the iPhone, and read several books. Even better, build it on top of webkit, so you can view embedded pictures as well as text, and books can be read as standard HTML. Important features include breaking HTML into chapters automatically (see GutenSplit and GutenMark), and reverse text (black background) to save power.

lit or txt doesn't matter

.lit is a microsoft reader format, you cannot EXPECT it to read this format.

Although it would be nice, I am not sure what will happen regarding legalities with Microsoft.

You can though, use a converter to convert .lit to loads of other formats (they are not protected).

Although .txt sounds like a good idea, it's a POOR format for an ebook, but yes support would at least be a little nice.

Your comments are unjust.

E-book reader is a must

Since the Windows mobile have been doing it for years this feature will be a good for the Andriod. Hope Google mixes things that are good about Windows mobile and the iPhone.
