Re: replacement battery for N810

So they'll fit, but the weaker (phone) ones won't give the heavier devices (N800) the full charge -- as I discovered to my cost when we went away last year and I forgot my N800 charger and couldn't buy one anywhere and had to rely on my daughter's phone charger twice a day... Hm, I sometimes charge my N810 with the charger that came with a BH-801 headset (as big a difference in batteries as it gets), and while it takes quite a bit more to charge it, it does come to full charge eventually (if not used for video playback, surfing or other intensive tasks while charging). ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Reading PDFs
One of the problems with PDFs that are designed for printing is that the
margins and the orientation are understandably suboptimal for reading on
an 800x480 screen on a handheld device.
While sorting out some material for a long flight and trip next month, I
realised that by trimming the margins and rotating 90 degrees clockwise,
the pages of a book-shaped PDF could be made to fit comfortably on the
N800 screen so that I could hold it long ways up, with the control
button at the bottom where my thumb would be.
You can probably do this in a full copy of Acrobat, but the following
LaTeX code seems to do the job:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[landscape,margin=0pt,nohead,nofoot,
papersize={480,800},textheight=440bp]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[angle=270,trim=72 72 72 72,pages=-]{filename}
\end{document}
The only things you need to measure are how much to trim off the four
sides to get rid of some of the margins (the units are Adobe points).
The minus argument to pages means all; you can also select a list or
range in curly braces like pages={1,2,3-10,14-22} etc.
Happy summer reading...now all I need is a battery capable of lasting an
8-hr flight in cattle class where there are no charger outlets...

Re: Reading PDFs
That's a great tip!
For power, look into something like an XPAL portable charger. I have one,
and though it charges itself via USB by default, the jack is a standard
Nokia one, so I use my Nokia chargers to charge it back up. Very handy.
