Software questions on my new 5230

- I need an audio player that reads Ogg Vorbis audio files and has a decent playlist function. So far PowerMP3 seems to be what I need, but it has a weird problem: in the music selection screen, touchscreen taps are almost always treated like double-taps. Obviously this makes the program skip ahead to the menu/song below the one I want, with predictably annoying results. How can I stop this? PowerMP3 is the only program I've tried on the 5230 that exhibits this weird behaviour.
- If PowerMP3 isn't fixable, is there an Ogg player that works as intended? So far I've tried OggPlay (crashes on startup in all versions), PocketOgg (relies on hardware buttons that my phone doesn't have) and MP3 Dictaphone (horrible interface, can't be minimized). What I really need is a player basically like the stock one on the phone, except with Ogg support.
- Any decent text reader? I need it to be able to go fullscreen in horizontal mode and if at all possible to set a font size (most readers default to an annoyingly big font). I don't need compatibility with anything but txt files - everything else (pdf, html, whatever) can be converted back to txt with ease.

Thanks :)
 
I'm using eReader as my text reader. It doesn't seem to handle txt files by default but I just use Calibre to convert from assorted html, epub, pdf, and other ebook types to the pdb that it seems to like best. In the conversion, I suspect you can adjust text size to your liking but so far it's been a pretty nice font size for the files I've converted. It flips from horizontal to vertical depending on how you hold the phone (which is kinda annoying at times) and you can go full screen with a double tap.
 
Anything that reads txt natively? I'd rather not have to futz around with converters if at all possible.
I've tried dedit, easyedit and ped, and none of them work :(
 
theres a cracked office suite version 6.for 5230 (i have it on mines) that handles doc text, spreadsheets. and ppt documents. (ability to create as well as view them) its file is on mobile9.com its a site similar to this but with less restrictions waaay less.
 
In the end I found the perfect text reader: ZXReader. It has many options that make it easy to use on the phone (like instant font resizing) and doesn't require any conversion to read .txt.
