Can I use the Z22 for Ebooks.

Scarpad · 09-05-2006, 12:11 AM

I'm interested in a relatively inexpensive device for reading E-books and I've ordered the Z22. Is the screens resolution high enough to allow for E-book reading without inducing Headaches?

I have a z22 and I use it for e-books; it comes with the software. I download text files and convert them to palm files. no problems. JPB

How is the text, is it easy to read for a few hours or are you getting Eye strain? Are you using Ereader? Have you Downloaded any books from Ereader?

The only downside to the z22 as an eBook reader is the lack of memory expansion options. As long as you don't mind the storage limitations, it should be fine...

I really don't need to carry more than 2-3 ebooks at a time at most, often just one book will be fine, maybe a few for vacation..

I have a Z22 & read a lot. It's convenient for spare moments, e.g. waiting in line. However I do get eye stain when reading for prolonged periods (also I'm 64 and use bifocals - it may be better for younger eyes).

I'm purchasing a Plam TX, mainly for the larger screen.

Hey Scarpad, I just checked & I have over 30 books on my Z22 with 33% free memory.

Yeah that's plenty of ebooks, more than enough, my main concern was the text readability, are you using ereader?

I use ereader mainly but occasionally use MobiPocket, Plucker, AportisDoc & RichReader. I prefer ereader.
