I know, but j2me really sucks on symbian in general and on the e61 in particular. It takes forever to start (6+ seconds, but much more if the program is large or inefficient at starting), and whenever you try to put a java program in the background it immediately exits.

QReader, OTOH, is native S60v3 and sits happily in the background for days on end, and it takes 150-200 ms to bring it to the foreground to start reading exactly where I left it. (If QReader for some reason isn't in the background (e.g., after I've rebooted the phone) it still takes less than 3 seconds to start it and open the last book where I left it.)
