eReader.com - The eBook Site Formerly Known As Peanut Press

The eBook site formerly known as Peanut Press, that then became Palm Digital Media, was purchased last fall by PalmGear. They have renamed the site eReader.com and have done a complete site redesign. The old Peanut Press and Palm Digital Media URLs still take you to the old site. I suspect they will be redirected at some point in the future to the new site.
Their ebook readers have been renamed eReader and eReader Pro. They are arguably the best readers available because they support Windows, Mac OS-X, Palm and - most importantly ;) - Pocket PC, they have one of the friendliest DRM methods that almost guarantees no theft is possible, protecting publishers and authors, yet users don't have to rely on complex activation schemes that can be a massive frustration when it doesn't go smoothly, and they claim to have the largest elibrary on the internet. Other than possible libraries that have thousands of old books out of copyright, I suspect they are right.
I have been a Peanut Press fan since 1999 when I first found the site and have purchased a number of books over the years. I highly recommend the site. Being able to read just about anywhere is a huge convenience and I can read for hours at night without bothering my wife by having to have a light on.
