I was reading an ebook last night that I also have in paperback format and wanting to hate it, but I just couldn't. I love having a physical book collection, but the ebook advantages are just so undeniable.
You won't hear any protest from me on the ebook issue: I now have new paper books that have been lying on my shelves for a year, just because it's too inconvenient to take them with me every time I leave the house. I do all my reading on my 770 and N800.

But not the e-comics: Those are on my big (Windoze) tablet. The Nokia screens are just a tad too small for these ageing eyeballs...

Regarding the GPS, I stated this elsewhere, but if the options were N810 as is and N810 without GPS, I would absolutely go for the latter. Especially if the lack of the GPS hardware meant they could manage to make the second MMC card accessible.
I still don't get it: How is a N810 (even without the GPS and with 2 card sockets) better than a N800 with ITOS2008?
