Which also means, that mobipocket may be installed. At least this is how I read it.
To address Harry's text size point, I noted above that they do not state the display's resolution (maybe for exactly this reason.)
On the other hand, 5" LCD displays are fairly common, and cheap, so maybe they are at least 480x272, if not 640x480, which would be sufficient improvement over the 24x320, which many Garmin devices employ.
Again, I thought it's so cheap, that someone might be interested (they should ask about the resolution first.) It's also thinner than most, thus more like an e-book.

It does not say that any GPS software is installed. It does have built-in GPS hardware and may have a test program, non-mapping built-in but I would expect you to have to add mapping programs if you want them.
To quote the web site: As the wholesaler, GadgetGreats provides the GPS- enabled hardware only, not the software.
The is WinCE not PPC so not all PPC applications will work but you must be able to install whatever you can find.
