My first portable device for reading ebooks was Cassiopeia A-11 with FSTN LCD, 480 x 240 Pixel, 4 shades of gray
With a carefully selected font the reading experience was surprisingly pleasant.
We all like to complain about Microsoft, and Microsoft Windows CE 1.0 Handheld PC edition gave us PLENTY of reasons to grumble and swear. But they do know how to make really well hinted fonts for reading.
