I started reading e-reading about 8 years ago when my office issued me a monochrome Palm VII (with a stunning 4 megs of available memory, IIRC). At that time, I think I used iSilo as my primary reading device In 2003, I migrated to a Dell Axim x5 and started using the Microsoft Reader program. I eventually got frustrated with Microsoft Reader's large margins and cumbersome memory usage. I tried Mobipocket and eReader, but eventually settled on the excellent uBook as my reader of choice. A couple of years ago, I switched to an iPaq hx2755 and tried out Mobipocket again and found it had greatly improved in both e-book creation and usability, and now it's my reader of choice, particularly since uBook is no longer completely free (I haven't bothered to buy a license, so I just deal with the nag screen).
I now read almost exclusively on my Pocket PC. Furthermore, I love the flexibility of the Pocket PC versus a dedicated e-ink device - I can watch movies, listen to music, browse the internet, check e-mail, play games, and access my home media and TV through Orb. My pocket pc is my precious....
