I think it is possible to customise both the background and text colours in FBReader.

I never would have thought of combining yellow text with a blue background though.

I'm using Moon+ Reader. It is very customizable and seems to support more formats than the android version of fbreader.

holy moly! just looked at the specs and it's quietly brilliant! hoping that there will be a 850/1900/2100 or ATT/Rogers 3g Bands....

Its being exclusively launched for Tmobile so unfortunately I wouldn't hold your breath. Wish there were more quad band 3g phones.

Really? That's weird cause you overlooked the fact IT DOESN'T HAVE A QWERTY!!

I was going to import the EPIC 4G despite its mediocre qwerty and PenTile display, but it doesn't work on GSM (fail!).

Man when will any OEM make an Android (or MeeGo/Maemo) phone that's like the E7 but with a better screen and an A9 under the hood?

And you overlooked the fact that I said I was keeping my N900 specifically for work that requires the qwerty and the Inspiration would be a phone to develop on and use as a main phone/media server.

But please do go on.

WOOT! Today at http://www.woot.com!

enTourage Pocket eDGe Dualbook Android Tablet and e-Ink Reader
http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=17398


Apparently, it's BOTH an LCD screen tablet on one side and an eInk reader on the other side... with RESISTIVE touchscreen (I think on both sides?) and comes with a stylus.. AND it has a front-facing camera... AND it has both a HOST mode USB port as well as device mode mini-USB port.

CRAZY! Only $149.99 today at Woot (they're a one-day sale store), so if you're interested you only have today to buy it.

The cons, as I see it... it runs Android 1.6 (DONUT!) and, although my research shows that it's pretty easy to root and that the source code for the kernel has been released, nobody seems to have done anything with it so far as far as ROMs like CyanogenMod. Shame--this looks like it would have EASILY knocked the Nook Color off as the cheapest decent Android tablet out there if it had more of a fanbase supporting it with ROMs.

Looks kind of chunky but at that price you can't go wrong.

Asus is reportedly already hard at work on a Tegra 3 tablet:

I told you, these PC manufacturers know how to iterate... quickly. Expect a whole slew of machines with similar specs.

Saw that.Not a huge fan of the Tegra chip to be honest but it was impressive none the less. Of course technology is always this way. If you always waited for the next big thing then you would never buy anything
