I find this all interesting. I don't know anything about these Palm thingies, although I have read that name around this board here and there. Had to look some of them up.
I never even heard of ebooks until I saw the first kindle and I am not sure where I saw it first, probably amazon site. I am talking about the K1. I think I heard about it in 2007, when the first one came out and sold out very quickly and after that I kept my eye on it. I didn't really understand what e-ink meant, or what would it mean to me until I got it.
I assume those Palm thingies had like a tablet type screen? They were before tablets though, right? I am guessing those would have been way out of my price range and the books that go with it. Gadgets like that in general were not in my budget.
Say what you will about Amazon, but they took something and turned it into a user friendly mainstream reading device with affordable content built around it.
