Since this is my initial foray into reading eBooks, I'm using the devices I have at hand while I wait for some price breakthrough on the Sony Reader. I have a Blackberry, which was fine during a recent 20-minute wait I had to endure (hospital waiting room). I'll be flying to Boston next week, lots of airport time, which should give the BBerry a good workout.
I have an old Palm m505 that I used heavily and is now retired to life as a digital stopwatch (I do a lot of public speaking, and it's handy to set on the podium). The issue with it is that it will only charge/sync through a "charging cradle" which I'm not packing around with me, so it isn't what I consider truly portable. Its surface is too reflective, and the backlight drains the battery very quickly. Would something in that form factor work if it had an eInk screen? It just might! I never thought of holding out for a SMALLER eInk device. That's food for thought, hidari.
