If everything goes well, some day Chess Tiger for Palm will allow you to:
1) have opening books of unlimited size.
2) allow you to import a book from the PC (maybe one made of PGN games).
3) allow you to manually add/remove/prioritize moves in the opening book,
directly on your Palm.
But there is not a big demand for this, so I can't put it in my priorities list.
