Opie-reader Support

[jbbrs]

Tim,

I've just found reading this thread of your health problems. I'd like to give you my best wishes for a quick and complete recovery, your opie-reader is one of the packages I use the most.

Okay, this is going to sound backwards to some of you, but here it goes.  

I am in the market for a new handheld, one which will read my existing fiction files (mostly HTML and iSilo), so OpieReader seems like a great solution.  Now I just need a machine to run it!  

I am a Linux novice, and I don't really want to become an expert, at least not right away.  If I buy one of the recent clamshell Zaurii (Dynamism or eBay), which ROMs could I use and still have OpieReader run?  Better yet, which ROMs will it run on without a lot of tweaking.  Has anyone tried OpieReader on the Archos PMA430?  Any chance it will work with the new Nokia 770 (Maemo platform)?  

Thanks in advance!

Jack

IMO, you'll want to use a sharp rom or cacko as these are the best out-of-the-box in terms of stability, features, and user-friendliness.  I've been using Opie Reader on a C760 & C860 with cacko for two years without any problem.  Installation is tweak-free and it runs great.

Thanks for the info...  Now I just have to decide if I should wait and see or jump straight in.  Time to look for some deals.
