Please Help... Which PDA for E-Books

Hi guys. I need some help choosing a PDA. So many choices.

Im disabled, in an electric wheelchair. I am primarily getting a PDA for reading Ebooks. I read alot, and with my poor hand control, holding paperbacks open and turning pages is a drag. Im thinking of possibly mounting the unit to my chair. Since my main interest is Ebooks, features like camera, blutooth, mp3, games etc.. are really not important. I guess a good screen, backlight, battery time, storage size and ease of interaction with windows xp pc are my concerns. I was originally planning on getting a dedicated ebook reader...ebookwise 1150. However, it may be a bit big, and almost everything I want to read is available in ereader palm format.

My ideal price range will...im sure, narrow my choices. Although, Im definately open to a used unit from ebay etc.. but if i can get something decent new online in my price..great. Id like to keep it under $150 if possible. Im hoping, since I dont need alot of the newer expensive features, there is a unit out there that is great for ebooks but affordable.

I have done some searching, but everytime I think Ive decided on something, I see another option and now Im completely unsure which unit to go with. Ive looked at everything from the older non color PALM V,VX,III, To the Sony Clie's SJ20,SJ33 etc.. To the Tungsten E2.

I really need some input from people who have used the units. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
