The way the text is displayed on the device, I think you could only fit about a half a paragraph on it at a time. And I think that's how you have to measure it, rather than by memory. How painful would it be to actually read a book on it, if you wanted to?

Think of it this way: A lot of recipes only take up a 3X5 index card. Now think of your favorite book. How many 3X5 index cards would it take up?

And that's all assuming you could repurpose it from syncing to the recipe website for content to begin with.

I'd say not worth doing, even if it could be done.
I don't know...
From the photos it looks like you would have a better reading experience than you would reading from, say, a Palm Tungsten E --- which is my backup reader after my Sony PRS-505. Maybe four paragraphs per page turn? Also, it appears that you can play with font size...
