It is more than just an e-book reader, although that is what I bought and used my 770 for. It is a full Linux-based "Internet Tablet" with a relatively large and active developer community. The screen is small, but its 800 pixel width is enough to display many web pages without horizontal scrolling. It is not a blackberry or PDA, because office (PDA) software is not really available, but it will browse the web, play videos, act as a wifi radio, etcetera.
A used 770 would make a good e-book reader. The N800 is the better Internet Tablet, and is about as capable an e-book reader as the 770.
