There are LCD based devices that are back lit (closer to your Palm experience).

Would you mind answering a few questions.

- what country are you in? (not all readers are available in all countries)
- how computer savvy is your husband? (format conversion may be required)
- do you have a price range you would like to stay in?
I think that the LCD devices are too small and limited.
My husband is quite computer literate-we both retired from computer related fields
We are in the USA
Price - under 300 if possible
