Whats a drm?
--- Quote from: sdedalus83 on December 09, 2009, 12:47:00 AM ---I use my N810, but it's got some serious limitations. The 4.1" screen can be a bit of a pain with manga, especially when it's scanned with pages side by side. The transflective display isn't as nice as e-ink for reading. My reading speed is probably cut by 20 - 40% due to the small screen size. It won't read DRM protected ebooks.
Despite the limitations, I use the hell out of it. It's pocketable, the battery life is solid, I can get online with a real browser via both wifi and my cell phone, and it can double as a PMP. The e-ink devices are great, but their size and limited functionality outweigh the benefits.
As far as commercial ebooks are concerned, I don't mind losing out on them with the nokia. Until Ebooks are offered as a cheap($1-2) companion to purchased hard copy books, I won't be buying any of them. Most of the cost of a book is in printing, binding, shipping, and shelf space. To charge the same for a license to read the book indefinitely as they do for the paper product is a fucking travesty.

I hear that with some stores only charge a $9 fee for books. Dont think t will ever go below that. But for a digital copy that a good price. I also read that you could go to some libraries and get book free there. Or at least thats what the sonny one says.

if you read what i wrote it makes more sense.
There is a seperate little screen that can be used for navigation and such. It burns through juice alot quicker

Digital Rights Management, the crap that restricts your usage of files so that it's more difficult to pirate them.
