Only If You Love Reading This Much
What I mean is that you would even read book on you N95. Do you? I’d be really admiring you if you do. But why not? Here are the two software you can try.
Yes, that means your N95 will do. eReader is a long standing eBook store which provides some of the current best sellers in eBook form, protected via its own form of DRM. They provides a version of their reader for multiple platforms. However a few years ago they seemed to lose interest in support Symbian OS handsets, but under the new ownership of Fictionwise this seems to be changing.
Mobipocket backed by Amazon
This one has long history and feature wise has no big different from the eReader. Those features are such as full screen mode, the ability too look up words, bookmarks, autoscroll, font and text settings. If you do use N95, these are all you need.
BTW, if you enjoy classics or those public domain ebooks, head to Memoware or Baen. Both software mentioned work well with those freebes.

I have been reading books on a Treo 650 since June 2005 and replaced it with an N95-3 in December 2007. I travel around a lot and cannot carry my books with me.
After migrating from a Treo 650 where I used eReader I was dismayed to find that my N95 didn’t support eReader. Recently a beta of v3.x of eReader became available for my N95. All the good things from my Treo days are gone and it has been replaced with a slow application that no longer supports categories. Launch includes the re-indexing of the whole book and can take up to 60 seconds. It also rebooted my N95 three times.
MobiReader does not handle page numbers properly and going back three pages and forward three pages does not necessarily bring you back to where you started. Launch is fast, but there are no book categories and with over 200 books this means that keeping track of what you’ve read is nigh-on impossible.
My next adventure was qreader which launches quickly, allows you to organize books in folders and has a simple interface. It doesn’t read .prc books, just .pdb books, but for me it is the most flexible book reader I’ve found yet.
As an aside, I’m now on my third N95-3. The first one was repaired by a Nokia Care Centre twice and Telstra a third time, each time the phone was a little more broken. In the end, the USB connector was behind the casing, the Camera button was partially broken and the Gallery button didn’t work. Telstra replaced it with three-repairs policy. My second N95-3 lasted 10 days. It would switch off while it was doing nothing, luckily it did it in the shop when I was telling them about it. I’ve had my third N95-3 for two days. We’ll see. Nokia Quality Control seems to be an issue
And of course, Nokia and Telstra both refuse to update the firmware to the latest one.
I read books on N95. I have Mobipocket reader installed on my phone and it works great.
