I'm a (long time) Palm user (Zire 71) and use it mostly for reading eBooks and blogs posts converted with plucker.

I know that FBReader can read that sort of file, but I've tryied the windows version and to read pluckers files I nedd to import them to the library, which is a lot of work (more than 90 file per day, I know it's crazy... ) my question is, is there a way of loading the library automatically? when I delete a file from the library will it delete it fisically? Can FBReader open files from the card?

I could use an RSS reader, but I don't want to be connected to read.
While I think it's possible to setup an automatic transfer of your Plucker files to the N810 SD card, you would still have to manually add them to FBReader's library - unless they were the same filenames that were just being overwritten each day (I've done this with some RSS feeds using Sunrise/Plucker for offline viewing. Yes FBReader can open files from the card.

Wich type of card does the n810 support? MiniSD?


Why do I focus mainly on the card? Because I have all the thing working on a linux box at work, and I don't have internet access at home (a decision), and every day I copy all the files to a card and use them with the Palm or the iPaq.
the N810 use a SD/SDHC Mini card or SD/SDHC micro with adapter. Most all of the apps are able to access files from a SD card, this includes all of the available music and video players.

The only thing that I know can't access the card is Garnet VM (a Palm emulator). GVM is the app that would allow you to continue to use those Palm apps that you had written without any need of porting them.
