Read on PDAs?
I read a LOT on old iPAQ PDAs ~2001-2009(?) then moved to iPhone for a while. Was reading in mobi before kindle owned the rights to the mobi format (MobiPocket was the original software that worked on WindowsCE), that and lit file format (Microsoft's long abandoned eBook format).
A lot of my oldest fanfiction I have are in lit format somewhere as backups, even though (hopefully) it's all been long imported into calibre, which I started using in the VERY early days. like mid 2007? Wow, it's been a long time.
I *almost* had bought a Sony e-reader, but never did. Not sure what their format was. I still have a couple of iPAQs sitting around that I had when I moved to my kindle. Heck, I'd still have my old Kindles if it weren't for Amazon's trade-in program that gave like 15% or 20% off new kindles.
