Re: Reading eReader books on a Nokia 770?

Dunno if this would help, but Kovid Goyal's program, Calibre

http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/download

has a Linux version, and includes quite a few utilites for converting 
ebooks to other formats, and also a built in viewer. The software is 
excellent and very well maintained. In other words, if you need 
something or have a bug, he goes to work on it and updates the software 
pretty quickly. Might be worth looking into. Suzanne
