Anyone recommend an e-reader app for Blackberry?

[MacMcK1957]

The existing BN app is no longer supported for downloading, and I have been unable to get sideloading to work at all, even with a PDB file.  The app just doesn't seem to see the new content no matter where I put it.  (If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.  B&N removed the FAQs when they stopped supporting it.)

I tried installing Overdrive, but it takes forever to start up and almost as long to shut down.  If I have five minutes to kill, it's kind of pointless to waste two of them starting and stopping the app.

Anyone have any other recommendations?  I have a 9300 Curve.  I have enough unDRMed material available that I'm willing to do without DRM unencryption, and I have no problem with sideloading. 

I don't use it a lot but it's nice to occasionally be able to use it when I'm in a waiting room or something.

I would strip the DRM, convert the books to AZW and read them on the Kindle for Blackberry. I beleve Kobo has an app for Blackberry also which should allow you to read B&N books after you strip them.

I can't see any justification for coverting the books to a different format if there are EPUB readers available.  There seem to be tons of them out there.  I'll try out the Kobo app.  Anyone have any experience with any others?

Neither Kobo nor Sony's apps can handle B&N's DRM, though.  If Aldiko is available on Blackberry, it can.

Aldiko seems to be Android only, and Sony doesn't look available for BB either.  I do little enough reading on my phone that I have no problem selecting a non-DRM book from my library.  I just use it when waiting in line, or similar situations.  I load a book there that I'm not reading on my Nook, and take months to get through it.  The problem I have right now is that I'm close to finishing the last book I downloaded to the BN app (Murder at the Vicarage, a free Agatha Christie from last year) and can't load a new book there.

Here is what a website named http://www.twin-pixels.com/blackberry-reading-apps/ suggests: Mobipocket---------------To read any e-book you can find from any source, it helps to have the Swiss Army Knife of e-readers by your side so that you don’t have to convert texts from one file format to the next. Mobipocket makes that dream a reality by allowing users to read any book in any format on any BlackBerry device.
