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.
Yup, I took a look. It's a nice little device. Is there subscription service involved? I have to admit, it seems like a lot more than I need is all. Does this read HTML books and store them?
