My hubby bought me a reconditioned Blackberry 8700C. We picked this one because it does *NOT* have a camera. I visit customer sites where cameras are forbidden, and while I'm willing to give up my camera, I'm not willing to give up my phone and connectivity. So far, we haven't purchased the data plan from the phone company, so I can't browse the internet or get e-mail. But I *can* read books on it.
I downloaded the MobiPocket software for the Blackberry somewhat as an experiment to see how it would be to read a book on it. The font on the Blackberry is very clear and it's much easier to read on it than I had anticipated. And, I have found it's easy to sneak in some "stealth reading" on the Blackberry when I'm in situations where pulling out my Kindle or Sony reader would not be accepted. People are so used to seeing others looking at their Blackberry and they just think you're looking at a text message or e-mail notice. Me, I'm reading a SF book!
I only keep one book on it and a time since I'm not sure how much memory I can tie up with books. When I've finished reading a book, I delete it and add another.
