DEAR LIVIU_5:
I have recently got a N800, & I am using it for the time being more as a combination of Mobile IPhone/SkypeOut and in order to read the news or my emails on Gmail. I'd rather use it as a E-Book reader too, as you seem to do, but I have problems to understand how the FBreader actually works.
I have downloaded & installed the FBREADER from maemo.org, but it does not automatically find the .txt file, which I downloded on a separate card of 8Giga.
I understand that the txt file should be somehow placed (?) on a string of the books saved, but how does it work?
Any suggestions could help.
I would appreciate your reply at:

regards,
Alan Rodan
PS: I was born in Romania, and your first name Liviu makes me think/hope you speak Romanian. If so, I would be delighted to get your reply in Romanian...

I like my Ebk1150 but I really love my Nokia, I take it everywhere with me and the reading experience is really beautiful (as with all software e.g. Adobe, MsLit, uBook, that allows it, I use yellow text on black background).
Fbreader can read unencrypted mobi say from Fictionwise, opf (the output of conversion from MsLit), and txt/rtf/html, lots of character sets, also zipped or tar, though not rar, so using zipped files you increase considerably your storage (have rs-mmc 1Gb, not sure if 2Gb works).
The downsides are navigation which is ok but unpaginated just with an indicator bar, and fragility, so for rereads, short story colections, Eb1150 is better. At home I split my reading between the two, overall I estimate I use Nokia 65%, Ebk 35% for my ereading (hard to count but in 2006 I estimate more than 100 new novels or equivalent in short story colections/magazines and about similar rereads in eform)
