I still use my PDA for reading, even though I have a 5" and a 6" e-ink reader as well. The smallness makes a perfect portable reader.
(though, mine is 640x480 and I find that that increase in resolution is great. My previous PDA had the same screen size and half the resolution...)

If you ever find one that can replace your PDA and has a larger screen, keep me informed!
My JE100 is adequate for reading, but nothing more than that. It's simply too slow for most things.
Jakie, I did look at that device. But decided against it, first of all, I'm not sure about android at all, but most importantly, it doesn't have any buttons on the casing, at all. I don't like to have to "swipe" the screen to get to a next page, I prefer hardware buttons for that. My current PDA has 3 locations... (left, right and bottom)
(oh, and the resolution is also less than my PDA has now for the same screensize...)
