Hi,
I have received my iliad back from Irex. I am trying to install and use apps from the softwares list.

As part of this I tried to open some chm files(5+MB) using FBReader and all opened up like a charm. Though it was a bit awkward to use FBReader. Had to consult the PC version repeatedly.

I was wondering about the CHM filesize vs fbreader memory loading issue.

So far I havent hit up on this limit with CHM files. Tonight I will try to read the PHP manual as chm and mobi-converted.

On querying the iliad's free memory(free), i could find only 5MB was free.

Is this normal? Is there a bunch of not so important apps that can be stopped to give more free memory?

EDIT:
A small correction: On fresh boot, the iliad shows 18MB of free memory. So possibly some apps are left running. I did save a ps list. Will check on this later.

Thanks
hari
