My family are currently reading ebooks with three Palm M125s. We generally read with the backlight off as we find it is easier on our eyes. But, seeing the recent price reductions I'm wondering if the EB-1150s would be a good upgrade option. Alternatively we may hold off for another year and migrate to e-ink devices.

A question or two......

Can you totally turn off the backlight on the EB-1150?

I'm assuming that you can't read in direct sunlight.

Does anyone have an opinion aboutthe EB-1150 verses the Palm M125.

Thanks,

cartz.
