This was in response to my comment about JoinTech possibly running more WinCE applications without trouble than the Q7. There are many older WinCE applications that don't work for some reason or another on the Q7. There also seems to be some Windows Mobile applications that run on WinCE 5.0 that don't seem to work on WinCE 6.0. As far as Linux goes, I do believe there are more applications available for the Q7 if you are looking at it from the linux perspective.

No problem ColdSun! Youa re are right. My focus is always on ebook reading. Sometimes I do get sidetracked. I installed gnome-games with the help of others from this forum as well as some other apps like Xournal.

I don't think one is better than the other, its just a matter of which OS you prefer. WinCE seems to be a little easier for users to pick up because most of us come into contact with a Windows PC on a daily basis for one thing or another.

Since my main priority was having a 7" color screen, I didn't mind using only FBreader. I have a N800 so I know a little (very little) about Linux. Once Win CE was available, I jumped on it. I am much more familar with that operating system based on my PPC/PDA days.
My focus then shifted to being able to have my Fav4 reading apps. Those are MS reader, Ereader, uBook, and Mobipocket. I was able to install all four on the JE100 (couldn't get MS reader to work on the Q7, but I am still trying). I have also installed Alreader and Zulureader on both devices, but have not really played around with them.
