Downloading

Go to the PalmFiction Main Page∞ and Click on the Download Link, Then pick the package that matches your Device resolution and Language. For instance, for 650 and above in English, download this file [may change due to updates] PalmFiction-v.0.14t_English_HiRes_Skin16∞.

Installing

Unzip it and put all the files on the device or SD card in \Palm\Launcher [Might require 3rd party launcher like Zlauncher to load all the libraries.] You can also download Font and color options, but it's not necessary.

Using PalmFiction

One the first launch, PalmFiction will scan your device and card. This may take a few moments. Especially if you have 345 ebooks, text files, html files, etc; like I do!
Let me pause here to note that MobiPocketReader only found 4 books on my device, as did eReader and PalmReader. Documents to go only looks in \files AFIAK.

Adding eBooks to the PalmFiction Library

PalmFiction can read any folder on the card, but I suggest you place all of your eBooks in one location. For now I'm going to suggest \Files for obvious reasons!
Go to E-Books for links to sites that offer e-books. Some are free, others are not. You may also find ebooks in news groups like alt.binaries.ebooks

Reading ebooks

Once you are running PalmFiction and have found your library of books, simply click on the book you wish to read. PalmFiction will load the book and you are on your way.
Scroll through the book by using the down button [up to go back]; or by clicking on the lower part of the screen; or by envolking the autoscroll feature from the "screen" menu.
The options from here are virually endless. You can invert the screen; rotate it any angle 0°,+-90°, or 180°; Toggle fullscreen; etc.
There are buttons at the bottom for: Close, Bookmark, Find in text, Find next, select font, Rotate Screen, Toggle full screentoggle 'copy mode', select profile, Tune profile, Brightness, contrast, and battery power. These buttons are selectable in the tune profile as to what shows up...
At the Top are Title, % read, Time and Battery meter.
In the "Tune Profile" area, are hundreds of possible preferences from fonts to kerning, to autoscroll settings. Go wild, or just read! It's up to you.

Screen caps to follow!
