You may want to see if you have better results with it, as I did for sure: <http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2007/minimo/> Another idea is to use graphical links. Since you're familiar with Linux you might could get this working. I got the browser working on my own... this would mean no CSS or JS but only HTML and graphics. It was fairly easy to get working as I recall, but I'm not on OS2007 and it's been a while. I didn't get it integrated with Maemo very well, but it was quite usable and very fast. > > The PDF reader looks alright but there's no way to turn pages in > fullscreen mode, and if you reopen a PDF it starts from page 1 and > there's not way to get back to where you left off.

See here for the features <http://www.fbreader.org/docs/formats.php>... one of my favorite apps for my IT. For PDF Evince is pretty nice, but I don't know if it has the features you need: <http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2007/evince/> All the Best, Jake Wasdin blog, http://jake.wasdin.net/ email, j...@wasdin.net xmpp, jewas...@jabber.org "Love each other as I have loved you" -JC _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
