Hi,

Thank you for answering me promptly. The Nokia sounds interesting though I am not sure I would be comfortable to a screen that small, however good the fonts. Fortunately they have one in store at my local CompUsa so I can go and check it out by this weekend.
The other concern I have is more "philosophical", namely that Nokia is designed as a Net tablet so most of its features are geared towards that, so it is like buying a BMW to drive to my grocery store. For net, though I use the tablet in bed, I am too used to a 3 monitor setup that I have been using now for 7 yrs or so, so even a laptop seems so small...
The good part about Nokia is that from what I read in the Teleread review kindly provided earlier, I can write my scripts to run on it, so if I have enough energy to do it I will probably be able to get/hack software to take a pdf/djvu book and convert one page at a time in readable format like people did it with the Librie, if the natively provided pdf reader is not good.

Thank you again,

Liviu

In summary, based on my current experience, if you like and are comfortable with the features of the 1150, you should feel comfortable using the Nokia. I understand that designers of the FBReader are in the process of making improvements, such as search and highlight functions, which at present are not yet incorporated (but which are in the 1150). I hope this is useful. Let me know if there's any other information I can provide. Jim
