Sadly, mobipocket has not been ported to maemo.  You can, however, install Garnet VM and then install your Palm reader on that.  It supports full-screen now but I have not been able to try it since the upgrade killed my installation somehow.

I mostly use FBreader, coupled with Gutenbrowse to get books from the Gutenberg project.  I am looking for a good way to port pdfs to a format FBreader understands (prc/pdb perhaps?) but have not come across one yet.  I was happy to see that someone had ported Zittrain's new _Future of the Internet_ book to that format and it works perfectly in FBreader.

hope that helps,
