HP IPAQ 210/211 4" VGA - Ebook Reading?
So I've been looking for a newer LCD device to read on. After spending quite some time on it, I came across the HP hx4700 4" PPC. There are plenty for sale on ebay. It can play movies, MP3s, games, surf the web and also read ebooks. So I think this is the perfect device for me.

Now I hear that HP has a new model. The IPAQ 210/211 (same thing depending on the market you buy it in I guess).

Its a little pricey, but no more so than a Kindle (which I don't want due to no backlight and no web surfing).

I read that this new version has a better battery (saw it in a review). I don't mind charging it every night or every other night. Seems like it lasts at least that long or longer for reading only (with wireless off).

How does everyone else feel about it? Anyone else have one of these or the hx4700? Is a used hx4700 just as good?
