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.

Here the file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9JOX132U
275.47 KB First chapter in Icelandic Archeology (in .pdf).

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).
My N516 will arrive tomorrow. Give me a week and I'll tel you what I think of it.
