I am still unsure but it looks like you can import personal files in txt, html and rtf formats as well as older rb files. If this is true this reader looks like the ticket. Can anyone confirm this?

I can certainly confirm that you can upload and read (.rd) and HTML formats. Both displayed nicely for me. I have not personally tried .txt, RTF or .doc files but I see no reason to doubt eBookwise's word on this since the others display as advertised.

Ok, well, the greenish look in the background of the display reminds me of my old Vx, which was very hard to read under 50% of the light conditions one would normally encounter, no matter how big and bold the font would be.

The greenish tint only shows up in the camera flash. With the naked eye, the backlit screen appears white with grey scaled lettering. The grey lettering seems slightly sepia-toned to my eye.
I do most of my reading in the dark at bedtime. But I have tried the reader with a reading lamp on and it is very readable under both conditions.
The half-VGA screen is not very good for graphics at all. The text looks a bit chunky even, but I cannot argue with my own experience: that I am reading faster with the 1150 than on my PDA. The font and the screen size seem to work for me.
This does not mean I am giving up on my PDA as ebook reader - it still fits in my pocket and is perfect for carry along. For me the eBookwise is more useful around the house.
