I'm currently learning Archeology and lots of the text is only available in .pdf or word files. I was wondering if it can support reading those files and if it can display Icelandic text (Some of the material is in English so this is not a "must" but really preferred).
Also if somebody has the device and doesn't mind testing for me if the Hanvon N516 5" can read Icelandic text.

The first lines should say this.
Fornmenn og furðuminjar
Frá alda öðli hafa fornminjar vakið forvitni og undrun fólks, og fyrir daga vísindalegrar fornleifafræði féllu minjastaðir gjarnan í flokk með náttúruundrum og þjóðsögulegum fyrirbærum. Nú á dögum hafa alþýðlegar fornleifaskýringar látið fræðimönnum að mestu eftir að skýra uppruna og eðli fornra mannvistarleifa, en þó skýtur furðuminjatrúin upp kollinum enn hér og þar.
Sérkennilegar ....
Also I would like suggestions for other devices that could meet my needs (preferable not to expensive and worldwide shipping). |
I wouldn't buy the Hanvon.. I bought one in early December last year, and it doesn't really live up to my expectations.. When restarting the unit to read, whatever I was reading, it doesn't start where I left off, and I have yet to find updates on the Hanvon site...
I have just bought a Kindle2, but I don't know what kind of languages they support... I think PDF is mostly 'pictures' of pages, so either should suit your need.
Edit: If you PM me and send me the file, I can have a look... I do not like the 'megaupload' site.
