well,it's not perfect like using a real ebook reader such as Amazon Kindle but does its job and it's free :)

nice. I've got a N145 too. the alternative way that I use to do is: on windows opening acrobat reader, open the ebook (pdf files), "Ctrl+L" for fullscreen, use "ctrl+Alt+"left arrow key" to rotate the screen. navigate with arrow keys or mouse.

to go back to normal use "ctrl+Alt+"up arrow key".

got this netbook too, and my ubuntu doesn't recognize multitouch gestures, and can't change volume or screen brightness, anyone else here has fixed that problem?

@rmachinegun this makes alot more sense and takes alot less effort. practically anything can be an ebook reader as long as it can open pdf files.

Why not use a program called Jupiter , you can change screen resolution , screen orientation , and also power modes when using the battery

youtube wont let me link the website ,, just type Jupiter in the search bar

I did the same thing what you did before, but it's not that perfect to use it like that isn't it?
