Documents to Go comes with the T|X. So does Adobe Reader for Palm. (There used to be several third-party utilities that would convert PDFs to Palm .doc or pdb files, but those are no longer necessary).

I have quite a few PDFs already on my device, including one of the Pennsylvania Mental Health Procedures Act that I made myself with Open Office.

It works very, very well.

If you have web pages that you need to access have available and you want to load them onto your device because you don't have WiFi where you are, you can pre-load them using some nice software called AvantGo, which will re-sync the pages either based on a schedule, each time you sync, each time you ask it to when you ARE in a WiFi hotspot, or never (which is great when you need to have things like directions from mapquest with you).

Of course, you can get AvantGo for any Palm device. What's VERY cool is that I had content on AvantGo that I hadn't accessed in several years (since I stopped using my PalmIIIxe) and my (free) account was still active.

Oh, and I think that the T|X fits in the Tungsten hard case.
