I will make this short and to the point. The site is dominated by the Sonyreaders, Kindlebleeders, Cybookers and Fictionwisecrookeds... However.. a few of us are quite happy with your PPC/PDA tablets. I find it funny that most people when they convert to a "proper" ereader that they then scathe the previous device that they were reading on....often that is the lowely PPC/PDA variant. I DO agree that eink is a better way to read a book; However, many complain that the PPC is too small to read on while an "Sonyreader" type is much better to read on because the screen is bigger!??. I find this logic a bit strange. I for one only read one line at a time. I do not read a whole screen of text in a nanosecond, even when I am speed reading through a book or a part of a book that is less interesting. I find the SMALLNESS one of the best reasons to have a PDA instead of an EREADER. The screen size is big enough on my PPC...3.7 inches diagonally. I have mobipocket on my Acer which makes it quite easy to adjust the color and size of the background and text as well as the size of the text.

I was wondering; Are there other PDA/PPC/Tablet readers who are quite happy with a smaller screen? I have two photos attached of my Acer N311 that I use to read everyday on the subway in Sapporo, Japan. Prior to that She was read everyday on the Moscow metro. The Acer lasts about 9 or ten hours for me with one battery charge. I charge it every day or two depending on how much reading I have done. I would like to hear other stories of PDA reading on this site if you have any to share.

PS. I did have ubook on my PPC but it did not work well so I have remained iwth mobipocket finding it the best ereader software for my Acer n311.
