TeleRead: FBReader for Nokia 770
This is big. I've been toying with the idea of buying a Nokia 770 around Christmas. But I really want to be able to surf the web AND read ebooks on it. Now I knew the Plucker ebook software reader had been ported over to the Nokia, and I really like Plucker, but there are not enough ebook titles available in Plucker - yet, to make me want to buy the Nokia. I would have to have at least one other ebook reader available. Now it looks like the FBReader has been ported over from the Sharp Zaurus. FBReader will read HTML and TXT formats. Now that may just be enough to make me seriously look at the Nokia 770 when it comes out.

No problem with HTML on the Nokia 770 - it has a web browser built in.
And AbiWord has also been ported, so Text, Word and many other formats will be fine as well.
See http://www.indt.org.br/maemo/ for some applications ported to Maemo (the basis for the Nokia 770 system).
