The Nokia Tablet assumes you will have Wifi available and browse the internet. It comes with a full featured browser, and can take expansion cards for storage.
The 770 uses a version of Opera for the browser. The 800 and 810 use a variant of Firefox. The 770 uses RS-MMC expansion cards. The 800 has two standard SD slots. The 810 uses a micro-SD card.
You ought to be able to store HTML documents on the expansion card, and read them from there.
I'm lusting in the background over the 800. I don't need the included keyboard on the 810 - I'd get a Bluetooth keyboard for that. I
do need the storage capacity, and two SD slots that can take SDHC cards are a boon.
I haven't jumped because I need PIM functionality that isn't quite there yet. I need a device that does more than just display ebooks, so a dedicated reader like the Sony or Kindle doesn't work for me.
At the moment, a Tapwave Zodiac 2 (a Palm OS based PDA) is my workhorse device, but a Nokia 800 or an ASUS eee may be the next step.
