FBReader reads Plucker and single-file HTML without conversion. I was very happy with FBReader on a Nokia 770 as an ebook reading device before switching to EInk.

For the most part, the N810 software is customized for the Nokia tablets (i.e. not just any Linux Desktop application will run on it). This reduces the choice of applications, but it does mean that there is typically a software developer actively working on the available applications.

I have never used an Ipod Touch, but it may already have more applications available than the Nokia's. This is where multi-million units sold really helps.

For me, the primary difference is the screen: 3.5" 480 x 320 for the Touch vs 4.1" 800 x 480 for the N810. On this basis, the N810 is the clear winner. However, this also means that a Touch with a high res. screen might win me over.
