It's VERY capable but also VERY tiny.

I tend to zoom into most documents then scroll through the page with my thumb which works well. Loading times are great.

Favourite has to be reading through 2 column scientific journal papers - I zoom in so each column is the width of the screen and scroll along. If it's a single page doc with large fonts (say 30 lines) you can possibly get away with rotating the page and viewing the entire thing vertically. Any more than that and I tend to zoom so the page takes the whole horizontal width of the screen - that includes margins.

Zooming is quick, scrolling through the page is quick, navigating to the next page is quick.

One problem though - I've crashed the reader with a VERY large book (350MB scanned pages) - though I've handled around 150MB ok. That may be an exception though since the same book also slows down Foxit/Adobe readers - it may have been scanned at a high resolution and has roughly 1000 pages.


Swap helps the whole OS in general - but wait till OS2008 comes out (SOON) - performance will be better then


Any other questions just ask; one of the reasons I bought the N800 is as a reference machine I have loads of technical books on there - makes for good reading on the train whilst listening to mp3s in the background.
