Device: Nokia n800
I use my n800 mainly for reading books. The screen is wonderful and is backlit. Great for reading in bed. The battery life is unfortunately short, 4-6 hours. If you are reading indoors you can turn down the display to conserve battery life.

Getting books onto it was a pain at first, but I set up a webserver (abyss, very lightweight) on my main pc and can now browse and download files easily.

On thing lacking on the n800 that I liked better on the 770 is the case. The 770 had a great cover that also automatically activated the sleep mode. The n800 just has a cloth cover; I need to find something soon or the convenient portability factor goes out the window.

If you want a pure ebookreader, I'd probably go with something e-ink. If you want a reader and you like the idea of being able to fiddle with the gadget, you'll love the n800.
