The iSilo "reader" for the Pocket PC takes the exact same file utilized for the Palm OS iSilo reader and allows it to be read on the Pocket PC, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile Smartphone, Symbian or the iPhone (http://www.isilo.com/). 
 
You also have the option of utilizing the MobiPocket reader version of these texts for the Pocket PC (they are currently working on an iPhone version). 
 


iPhone Users: Safari on your iPhone will not download any files.  You need to do the download from within iSilo on your iPhone.  Start iSilo and in the document list view, tap the more button in the upper right (the one with the ellipsis "...").  In the List Menu that appears, tap Download.  This gives you the Download view. There, enter the URL for your download.  Click any required links to get to the link for downloading and iSilo should then prompt you for where you want to save the file. Here is info on their forum: http://forum.isilo.com/


 

Answers to common questions about which devices/readers can be used and for which versions:



As you already know, it’s not simply just palm or pocket pc anymore.  There are getting to be a lot of different devices out there so here is the updated list of compatible hardware for The Clinical Medicine Consult files.  First off, there are three versions of the text.  One version for the iSilo Reader (.pdb, obtain reader via www.iSilo.com), adobe (.pdf) and one is the MobiPocket version (.prc, obtain the Mobipocket reader via http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp, free, this version also works with about a dozen other readers).   Neither reader will read a file from the other version (demo or full)(Pocket PC or palm OS) and both are separate purchases.  With the PDF version, there were multiple options for handheld and desktops, this version is included for free with the purchase of the MobiPocket version.

The iSilo, pdf and Mobipocket readers all allow you the read the exact same file on most ANY platform (Palm OS, Pocket PC OS, Windows [notebook or desktops], Windows Mobile Smartphone,Windows CE Handheld PC, Symbian (Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Psion) or Blackberry. 

iPhone users: Currently there is only an iSilo version that runs directly on iPhones.  As of August 2010, we have for sale a non-DRM version in .prc fromat.  If you do not wish to use the iSilo version, you can take this file and covert it to ePub (via Calibre or Stanza) and load it on your iPhone and iPad.  The Apple iBooks for iPad app uses ePub as it's main format. It is fairly straightforward to move user-generated files onto the iPad with iBooks. iBooks cannot read mobi files though.  Both Calibre and Stanza can generally convert non-DRM mobi (.prc) files into ePub files readable in the iBooks for iPad app, however the text is too large for them to convert (no ePub option at this time).  Another iPad app, called "Bookshelf", will read mobi .prc files on the iPad.

MobiPocket Reader (.prc): You can also use free "MobiPocket for Windows" to read the text on one’s desktop or palm / PPC or read the same file on any PDA you own.  An added benefit of this version is that one can copy small snippets of the text, which is not allowed in the iSilo desktop reader version.  This is very useful for those giving presentation or perhaps using an electronic medical record. Sorry, at this time there are no FREE updates with this version of the text as 95% of current users thus far use iSilo.
