Hi,
When I started migrating to digital books, I decided that since right now we are in the "prehistoric" age, time permitting, I try to spread the word as much as I can, and wherever people that can do something about it (like device makers, publishers) may drop by.
Regarding the Palm, before I went the Ebk1150 route I checked my local computer stores to see how they looked and they seemed too small for reading; also they are more expensive and I just do not need a handheld right now. Personally I am not too much into the convergence thing, I want music, I get an ipod, I want movies to keep my son quiet in the car, I get a portable dvd player and so on... The prices are low enough to make it affordable. If I will need a handheld I will get one for whatever it does best, just not for reading.
What I do not like are things that tell me you cannot do this or that with them as long as you do it for yourself, after I paid my money on them, so nothing drm'ed that I cannot easily convert (whether books, music, movies - I use itunes, ipod but I never bought a song from them, just buy the CD, get into a music club..., I never bought a book from Ebookwise, never even registered my reader for that matter).

No more questions, just a link I just found while trawling the web for other info. I chanced upon a site that had side-by-side pictures of a eBk, a Franklin eBookman and a Palm V.

Didn't know that the three are not that different in actual screen sizes. But I guess an inch difference here and there adds up. |
