The screen is almost exactly half the size of a Sony, but because it is usually held in "landscape" mode all this means is that you need twice as many page turns (which are very fast on the 770). It is also backlit and color. The more expensive N810 has a sun-light readable display.

OK, I've looked at the N800 and the 770. My question is this, every one I've seen doesn't strike me as a "reader" but more of something like a blackberry. Is this device simply not the same as say, the Sony reader? It's more multi use than *just* a book reader?
