As a small aside, there is a HTML reader for the Palm Pilot that does a
damn good job of being an e-book reader given the book being published in
HTML. It's called "Plucker";
http://plucker.gnu-designs.com/
There are some sample databases on the site including "Alice's Adventures
In Wonderland" which includes some lovely illustrations.
It comes with its own web spider for collecting pages, but I use another
one called "SiteScooper", http://www.sitescooper.cx/, which supports
spidering through authenticated proxies. (I'm behind a firewall here)
It's probably the most used application on my Palm.
