That was with the Plucker Viewer. I've never learned if what gave the problem was inherent in the GTK+ Viewer or whether it was something that could be altered and the program recompiled. The guys who did the port didn't know and don't have time to fix that problem now.

FBReader appears to have no problem whatsoever with Plucker documents. I do think the program is robust enough. Note, of course, that it lacks highlighting and bookmarks in its current version. And the Nokia 770 is definitely robust and stable enough. The combination is really great.

Hope you can find one available before Christmas, if that's really when you want it. Ordering direct from Nokia today would probably get you a January delivery. CompUSA has models for sale, but each store has only a few in stock. I live within 15 miles of 5 CompUSA stores and 4 are currently sold out.
