I think this would be cool. Good luck!

I've only used FBReader on the Nokia 770, so I can't speak to how well developed the Linux desktop version is -- in fact, after you install it, perhaps you'll report back to us. What I can tell you is that prior releases had no desktop version, so the kinks in it, whatever they may be, haven't had time to get themselves worked out.

The Nokia 770's screen is 800x480, and FBReader works very well in that space. But it's been adapted to the 770 specifically and that means it may not be the best place to start from. It does have a "full-screen mode," in which every portion of the interface is removed and you're left only with what's on the page. Maybe you can tell us if this is true of the desktop Linux version too and how well it works there.

Hopefully Mikhail will see this posting soon and respond to your questions. Let us know what you learn!
