that already disqualifies totally as a book reading programm.
For reference files and short html pages you can easily read in one session, the html viewer does fine.

Unless you can't get the font to scale properly. I've pretty much given up on RFC's in HTML on the iLiad, especially after 2.7 shook up Minimo's font system. I'm re-writing the back end of my RFC parser to emit PDF's.
I've also gotten trapped a couple times. Some HTML files assume you can always hit the "back" button or otherwise work yourself out of a page. If you close Minimo while on one of those pages you find yourself unable to navigate out of there except by manually editing the manifest.xml to reset the last location.
Minimo also does a poor job of re-flowing some HTML pages. The page flows off the right hand side of the display and you have no way to view it.
