Welcome Giddion. I own three devices (plus my PCs) that have books on them. My first and favorite device is the Kindle. With the announcement of the Kindle V2 yesterday, there are going to be LOTS of the V1 devices showing up on eBay at very reasonable prices. The second device I purchased is the Sony PRS-505 and my hubby bought me the lighted cover for Christmas, so I now use the Sony at night when traveling in the car since the light doesn't interfere with his night vision. I also installed MobiPocket Reader on my Blackberry and have one book on it for "stealth" reading. While everyone else is checking their e-mail, I'm reading a couple of pages in my SF novel downloaded from Baen.com.
One advantage of the Kindle above and beyond the devices that you already have is that Amazon's catalog tends much more reasonably priced than the same titles through other sellers. But, if you're catching up on the many classics and well-written books which are in the public domain, then your Samsung looks like it may do the trick for the time being.
And -- I wasn't aware of that hand-held device. To use as a cell phone, I'd need an equivalent device which supported the AT&T cellular network, but I could be interested in it without the cell function! Wi-Fi, music, photos, and various applications such as MobiPocket Reader seem to make it a very desirable hand-held. I didn't know that any phones offered Wi-Fi in addition to the cell functions. I'm going to have to research that as a data option/alternative to the cell data services. I'm glad you posted this and made me aware of the new devices coming out.
