It works perfectly well to view HTML pages. Of course Opera offers more options for real web-browsing. But to view HTML I prefer the Picsel Browser.

Of course using it on the iLiad will cost money. You can probably ask Sharp how much it does.

On the Zarus people use QPDF, a very nice programm. But people did nevertheless send heaps of money (135 Euro) to Japan to get the Picsel Browser. Nuff said?

Rendering speed alone would be enough reason for me to make a call to Picsel Technologies. Take a look at the video.

Of course an alternative would be to find out what is going on behind the scenes of the Picsel Browser and then try to rewrite XPDF and all the other viewers. IMHO the other way around of supplying reader for DRM and so on for a Picsel Browser seems to be much more promising for me. Because at the end of the day I need a perfect software for a perfect hardware and not just a perfect hardware.
