Perhaps you can find a used Sony 500 or 505 on eBay or similar that will cost you less. Personally, reading on the iPod is not fun. While the screen is nice and sharp... it is too small and also the backlight will get to you if you plan to read for long sessions. If you are just going to read a few mninutes here and there it could be ok.
