Does anyone who uses this case also read ebooks with FBReader?
How well does id work in portrait view? Is it awkward to hold in your right hand with the cover on and read? Where does that flap end up? Can it be easily folded out of the way? Seems like it might add too much bulk.....
Thanks, Hal

Hey Hal,

As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, so two pictures must be pretty sweet!

Hope these help you get a feeling for the bulkiness of the N800 with the case on ( it's not too bad and the case itself is pretty slick ).

I agree, it's fine for reading, although I don't read in portrait mode and can't say anything about that. One thing to note: if you're one of the people who likes to use the n800's built-in stand as a sort of wrist strap, you won't be able to do that with this case. Personally, I'm just as glad that the case forced me to break that habit before the stand got bent.

Thanks to both of you. Try the portrait mode, I think the pagedown with the thumb is pretty convenient. Maybe you read stuff with pictures that need the width......
I'm getting one today. Does anyone know of a promotion code?
