The advent of the e-reader makes for a much more convenient method of reading books. No more will I have to cart around a suitcase full of books to take on holiday.
I've been downloading a lot of Gutenbergs free books and converting them for various devices with Calibre. My Ipaq rx1950 pocket pc has mobipocket reader installed, and works very well. The PSP doesn't get much of a mention, but I've got a program that converts book text files into jpeg pages that can be read on this humble device using left/right navigation buttons to flick through.
Been experimenting with converting ebooks to audio with TTS program. The inflection suffers somewhat but how nice it is just to have an mp3 player hanging round your neck and have the books read to you.
