<p>I've submitted the first version of my proposal. As you suggested Ville I'll take a look at eBook readers on other platforms this weekend and refine my proposal after that.
<br>
<br>----- Original message -----
<br>> I would be very interested to see a high-performing ebook reader on the Maemo
<br>> platform. At hand, I have a 27 MB epub file (90 MB unzipped) with thousands of
<br>> articles. FBreader chokes on that. Having a speedy reader with nice navigation
<br>> features would make the N900 stand out from the crowd of other devices.
<br>>
<br>> Best regards
<br>> -Tom
