Re: Is the N800 the device for me?
 

One of the main reasons I bought my N800 was the screen size (4.1 in) and resolution (800 x 480). It's a lot better than any Palm (I used to own a Tungsten E).

Well, I can assure you that as an eBook reader, the N8XX are very good choices - FBReader is a very good app, except for its known limits (DRM is unsupported). PDF reading is a pleasure, the best of any pocketable device.

But yes, if these limits are a problem for you, the Tablets maybe are not the best option.

As an eBook reader it's excellent, but can get tiring holding it. I don't "do" drm'ed content. All mine are PDFs, CHMs or DJVU's. If you do get round to getting one install rotation support - REALLY helps!

CrunchyRoll worked - albeit not as smoothly as I would have liked - the issue is similar to Youtube's .. when flash is streaming and caching video jerks, once it finsihes caching it streams smoothly including the high bitrate stream. H264 stream didn't work at all.

Hulu don't let me view anything in the UK :(

I believe the n800's screen is bigger then the PSP (sister owns a PSP).

Re: Is the N800 the device for me?
 

Wow thanks for the pictures that really helps. It also shows that the screen seems to be twice as good as a PDA screen.

Thanks again for the info as an ereader. I too don't use any DRM materials so I'm not worried. (I buy a few PDF's from Drivethru RPG and RPG NOW but those aren't DRM protected.) So just plain old PDF's and HTML books should be fine. (I can convert pretty much all of my books to those formats no worries) I hope Mobipocket works on it eventually.

Thanks again folks!

I have downloaded tons of WOWIO pdfs and they look great on my N800. FBreader also works great, especially on Project Gutenberg texts.

Something like Kindle is tempting, if you can afford a few hundred extra bucks. But I think you will be quite happy with the N800.
