I'm another one who's read a LOT of ebooks on Palms. The first 3 Palms I owned had 3" screens if I recall, with 160x160 resolution. I won't guess how many books I've read on those but it was certainly in the hundreds.
I later got a Palm Tungsten, I forget which model but it was the cheaper one, with 320x320 resolution and I liked that a lot more but I was fine with the older ones.
The very first ebook I ever read was on an HP48 calculator. I don't recall what the book was. I downloaded it from the HP forum on Compuserve. Someone there scanned and uploaded it.
That was long before the word "ebook" was used and long before you could buy ebooks. I'm not sure what year it was; probably early 1990's. The resolution was 131x64. I don't recall how many books I read on it. Probably 15 or 20. It was far from perfect but it was okay.
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to go back to that. But I could if I just had to.
