I just couldn't open any ebooks! It always crahses. It doesn't even matter what kind of non-DRM protected file I try to open, a few kb's to a few Mb's, plaintext whatever...
How did you manage to get it running

Yes, I'm running this on the N900.

I first installed the .deb for the Garnet VM .deb as root with
dpkg -i garnet*.deb, then I installed Mobipocket for palm OS.
You have to go to the manual install page:
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/Downloa...ualInstall.asp.
There are 3 files to install, mobireader.prc, mathlib.prc bluepalm.pdb. You install them within the Garnet application, but before the virtual machine is fired up.
Finally, I installed non-DRM e-books in Mobipocket format (.prc), again from within the Garnet application.
I think it all worked fine the first time.

I also tried installing Audible for Palm and google maps but those didn't work. They both crashed the VM.
