I have a few text books in pdf format that I reference daily. I have tried using a Palm TX with a 480x320 screen and it is too low of a resolution and small display size to show the full width of a page legibly. Is the resolution and screen size of this device able to display a pdf page, letter size, legibly without having to zoom in and scroll the page?

I use screen protectors on nearly all my electronics, including both Treos I've owned and my 770, all the way down to my Palm IIIxe. The lettering has rubbed/scratched off on its own. I use the included cover, but I think I'm a fairly "high-use" 770 owner. The plastic doesn't seem to be scratched, the letters just come off. Thanks, everyone, who posted that the 770 can read inside zips.

Start FBReader, press the toolbar button with the little + sign next to a book, and you'll get a file browser. It displays the real filesystem, so the MMC card is at /media/mmc1, and your Documents folder is at /home/user/MyDocs/.documents. You can enter inside .zip files as if they were directories. FBReader supports many formats; I mainly use HTML. Unfortunatelly FBReader doesn't support books split into multiple HTML files. You either have to read each of those as a separate "book", or muck around combining them into a single large .HTML file. I've written a Python script that does that, among other things. Hmm, where's the preview button on this blog? Oh well. FBReader has a built-in ZIP decompressor.

As for screen protectors- I love and hate them. My current thinking is that I jstu won't use them, to get maximum readability. Also consider- by the time the screen is _really_ scratched, there will be a new device out that you will want, and that's a great excuse to upgrade. So remove that protector- it's not worth it!

Thanks Adam for taking those shots. This is where the size of the 770 clearly comes into play. Any thing larger and it would be too uncomfortable to hold like this. I’ll say again too that the sharpness of the screen helps tremendously. One of the nice things about using the 770 is reading in low light situations. The bad thing is that you can’t read outside.
