I got my info from:
http://tamspalm.tamoggemon.com/2007/...-os-handhelds/
To quote the website:
"Palm Quick Install (the desktop application that allows you to move files like .prc and .pdb to your Palm device) and Palm� LifeDrive� mobile manager software are not currently Vista compatible. Please check back for updates.
So, if I understand this correctly, installing PRC files to Palm handhelds or PDA’s at Hotsync is not possible under Windows Vista."
I have no direct experience with recent palm devices so was just using this as information along with some other web sites indicating some Vista compatibility problems. Maybe just the initial set up or firmware update would be affected? Anyway, after pricing the Palm's, it seemed more cost effective for me to investigate just reading devices. As you can tell from my original question that I'm a newbie concerning ereaders.
