Ditto. Quite easily, online.
And I'm also of the crowd that started reading (voraciously) on the early Palm devices. I read hundreds of books there, between say 1995 and 2008 when the first Kindle came around. By that point, my eyes were getting older, and really objected to the small screen on the Palm and on my then-new iPhone, though I kept reading there anyway. But that's WHY I bought the Kindle in early 2008 (I waited a few months to see if they were any good!) for the e-ink.
Now I use e-ink for any long periods of reading, but it was still nice to get a $10 phone for reading in the line at the supermarket. For instance!
