Hi,
I have several questions about book reading on the Nokia 770?
1. Did you try pdf's and how they display?
2. What about images (say jpg but any format will do), what is the maximum resolution they can have?
3. How do you turn pages? Button or pen?
4. How do you access the books? Open then from a folder like on a pc, and then they stay in something like a taskbar until closed?
5. When reading do you have anything else on the screen (e.g. taskbar) or automatically you get only the full text like in Ebk1150?
As mentioned before, I am looking for another reading device outside my Ebk1150 (which I really like) for various reasons and I am excited about the new eink devices, but price, refresh rate, unclear conversion tools (for the Sony) as well as unclear availability make me very willing to consider alternatives.
Thank you,
Liviu

I have previously used a eBookwise 1150 which I love but which my wife has taken over. Rather than buy a second one, I thought I'd try the Nokia. It's wonderful. Highly legible with instant page turning. I use the FBReader, which enables a wide range of font and type size formatting. In advance, I decided againt the upcoming eInk readers, as they have reported to have quite slow page turning and no back lighting. I can read for over seven hours without recharging the battery. And of course I can surf the internet with it and read email with it. But the eBookwise is excellent also, at a third the price. |
