- Reports run slow.
- Reports run for hours before completing.
- Reports run for hours and never complete.
- Reports run for a long time and return timeout errors.
- Reports run for a long time and return query execution errors.

If you’re looking for eBook reader software, so far I’d have to suggest you try out MobiPocket Reader. It works great on the PC and also on the Smartphone. The MobiPocket web site keeps your purchased items stored for you so you can download them at any time.
The Reader software not only stores and manages your purchased eBooks (prc format), but is also a RSS Feed Reader. It grabs your RSS feeds and has a pretty handy interface for reading them. It doesn’t allow transferring the feeds to your mobile device, though. I thought for sure it would allow that since the MobiPocket Reader itself does a great job of keeping your PC and mobile device synched with your eBook content.
Just a quick button press and a book I purchased from the web site synched with my cradled Smartphone so I can read it on my plane ride to the 1E RoadShow on Thursday.
Hmmm…however, it does say on their web site that you can read the RSS feeds offline on your mobile device. I’ll have to figure out how to do that — it’s not readily visible. They say they have 300,000 feeds in their eNews repository. What’s cool, too, is that any feed you add to MobiPocket Reader, it gives you an option to share the feed with the MobiPocket community. Suffice to say, I threw in a few myITforum.com feeds to share.
So far, it looks good. I’ll keep plugging away at it for the next few days so I can give a better, more informed review.

So…I’m looking for an eBook reader for my Smartphone today. Did you know that Mobipocket is a subsidiary of Amazon.com? I didn’t, either, until I started looking for eBooks on Amazon.com. Amazon.com used to have their own eBooks distribution methods, but not any more, it looks like.
I’m downloading and trying out the Mobipocket software now. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Microsoft Reader used to be an app that I had to have on my PC and PocketPC. I thought the app would go places. It just crossed my mind today so I jumped out the Reader web site to check on it.
I downloaded, installed, and activated it on my Windows Vista laptop, because I still have some Reader-format books I’d like to finish. It installed and activated, no problem. Then, I downloaded the PocketPC version to install on my Windows Smartphone. No dice. It does not support Smartphones. What?
Amazon.com comes out with poptart-sized device that you have to carry in *addition* to everything else you lug around, yet Microsoft hasn’t invested any more time and effort into their Reader product? Everyone carries a phone around with them. It makes perfect sense to turn Smartphones into a book reader instead of developing yet another device.
So…I’m stuck with reading Reader books on my laptop that is the size of an old Catholic translation of the Bible.
Crazy.

With Christmas right around the corner, I thought a great gift for the kids would be a new rev Zune 4 or Zune 8. I thought these babies would go quick. But, looking at Amazon.com that’s not the case. The Zune 80 is the beast this Christmas, I guess. It’s sold out.
The price difference made be the deciding factor for folks.
A Zune 8 is $189.99. A Zune 80 is less than a $100 more at $249.99.
It’s interesting. Folks I talk to these days, both adult and kid alike, are really keen on the Zune over an iPod. That’s a huge change from a couple years ago.
