I've got a Pocket PC (Windows Mobile 5) with several different e-book readers. Adobe used to have an ebook reader for the PPC, but stopped developing it after the PPC2003 OS. I've found a third part pdf reader that will let you switch to text-only view, and that's a reasonable compromise. But it will not read Adobe ebooks, only .pdf documents.

Other than pdf, I can read palm ebooks with eReader, Mobipocket reader, a .chm reader (good of technical books), .lit using Microsoft Reader and the Fictionwise's reader, Pocket eSword (for bibles), and iSilo for some palm ebooks. There is not one single ebook reader that will cover all (or even most) of the ebook formats. And Adobe ebooks are not supported.

The Fictionwise reader does the best at reading mutiple formats (.lit, .doc, .html, .txt) but has trouble with large books. It's a little unstable and it sometimes looses my place. But it's still the main reader I use.
