I was thinking about making this sugestion as well. These really are the work horses of the last generation of ebook readers (and the only real survivors). Its batery life is only about 15-20 hours if the backlight is turned up to 50-60%. And I have replaced the batteries in my wife's one (its actually an reb1100).
This is the perfect low end work horse to read on. The limit is 128mb. If you have no images the standard 300-400 page fiction paperback is about 500k, so thats 250 books that fit on there.
The last thing you have to consider is how much time you are willing to spend formating your text. Though I love our 1100, It takes more TLC to get a readable book than our sony 505.
The long and the short of it is, if your a technophile then you'll find a way to make any device that you like work... If you just want to read text, this is a great option, If you need the "perfect solution" come back in another 10-20 years and we will be closer.
Hell, all of this is worlds better that
what we use to use
