My sole reason for landing at the iSolo site is upon referral from lds.org. I have installed iSolo on my m505 Palm device. I can read the manual and a few titles from the lds site specifically created for iSolo, but what I can not yet read are the large range of LDS titles in .pdb format already on my PDA.
How do I now convert those titles so that I can take advantage of iSolo with the cool linking, the colors, and other font tricks, to make my reading experience richer?
Please help....

iSilo can only be used to view iSilo, Palm Doc, and plain text files. It can not view documents in other formats. If you can get the source content for the LDS files you mention in HTML format, then you can convert them to iSilo format using iSiloX.

lds.org is now providing iSilo format for many of the files. They are no longer supporting the use of their Palm Reader application since there are other better (iSilo :) ) programs available. All their files are also available in HTML so they can successfully be converted to iSilo. I however, do not like the format that they are converting it too. They are creating multiple file for a single chapter of a book, and do not take advantage of the external document linking feature of iSilo. I will update this thread in the future, since I am currently working on getting a much better "iSilo" conversion and will provide a link to the results.

Update:
lds.org still has not made use of external document linking. However, I have created a new iSilo version of the LDS scriptures which makes use of the external document linking. In addition, several compatible church publications are now available in a rapidly growing library. The publications are posted at my web site.
