Opera mini is great and make sure you're loading the mobile sites.
I use Astro File Manager (the paid version) that I sideloaded from my Droid. What I really like about Astro is that you can use it to easily back up your apps.

Yes, the included reader does need work. I opened one epub, then went back to open another. I pressed the second epub and the reader instead loaded the first epub I read. I'll check out Aldiko. I'm trying to find a way to install Opera Mini now, not having any luck.

So, does the IQ drain its battery while it's "sleeping", too? Is there a similar "trick" (like we use for the PB360) needed, and available, to make the IQ last a reasonable length of time? Or can you shut it all the way down and then start it back up and it is ready to read (or use in any other way) nearly instantly?
Thanks!

There is no suspend, unfortunately. As best I can tell there is only "screen off" and shutdown. There's nothing in between. And yes, when the screen is turned off, it does use battery. Not sure how much, but it uses it a little.
Startup takes 1 minute 10 seconds from the time you press the power button to the point you're presented with a usable "desktop". This time includes the very long 31 second nag screen that tells you to visit PocketBook-int.com to download updates. Please get rid of this, PB. The 1:10 also includes the time it takes to skip the Registration screen. (Registration does not work, I tried it. Sent an email to Bookland, hopefully they can assist me.) Shutdown takes about 10 seconds.

However, do not forget Android 2.0 do not support Flash... only 2.2 does.  |
I will definitely try Dolphin and Fennec if I can ever figure out how to install an app. Right, I know there's no Flash until 2.2, thanks for the reminder.
