I've read on PDA since Philips Nino (can't remember the model number anymore), and that was back in 1998. Since then I've had a Psion, a couple Palms and finally a Fujistu-Siemens Loox 560. All of these were great gadgets and great for reading from.
At least I thought so until I bought my iLiad ...
There's no way I'll read anything on a back-lit screen unless I have to.
Then again, I can see how some people would find PDAs better than eInk. A matter of taste.
