I have a Samsung I760 and usually listen to books on my phone using TCPMP a free program or audible. I recently just started reading some book on my phone and was wondering what you think the best reader is. A friend of mine told me about Mobipocket which is a free reader. It saves your place, scrolls and others. Has anyone tried this and what do you think is the best program to use.

While mobi has been around for a long time and is a good reader, the reader choice is often driven by the formats the books you want to read are published with.
Formats are both non standard and often contain drm encryption issues.
As a result, your first search should be for some titles you want to read, then find out what formats those are in and if they are drm encrypted.
At the moment, the primary encrypted formats are kindle (not yet available in windows mobile), MSReader and Adobe. Mobi and others also have encryptions schemas and each format will force using that specific reader.
Unfortunately, for my reading preferences, I have found very few unencrypted offerings during the last decade which is a real tree killer.

I have an i760 as well. For books without DRM, I use either Mobipocket (which will also do their brand of DRM) or microbook (Gower Point Software) which has a large list of unencrypted formats. Between the two of them, they cover most of what I need.
