EBook for EPOC is a Freeware electronic book (e-text/e-book) viewer. It supports the industry standard PalmDOC (Aportis) documents, as used on the Palm handhelds, TCR and regular text documents. Although primarily designed as a book reader EBook may also be used as a general document viewer but it does not support document formats such as EPOC Word, MS Word, HTML or PDF.

EPOC is the older name for Symbian OS.

TCR files were originally designed for the Psion 3 series and give a slightly better compression ratio than PalmDOCs.

PalmDOC advantages:

  • Massive number of documents available
  • Extra information such as document title, original uncompressed size, etc. stored in the document
  • Can contain predefined bookmarks
  • Can be read on many different platforms

TCR advantages:

  • Slightly better compression ratio
  • More Psion specific documents available
  • EBook works perfectly well with FontMachine.
