I've had seven handheld devices that I've used for reading over the past 22 years.
1. Casio E-115 (summer 2000 - spring 2006). This was an early Pocket PC running Windows CE 3.0 and supported .LIT files via MS Reader. I used it extensively.
2. HTC Wizard (autumn 2006 - winter 2011). This was a phone / Pocket PC crossover running Windows Mobile 5. I read books in Plucker format using a program called Vade Mecum (and .LIT files).
3. Sony PRS-505 (Christmas 2008 - January 2013). My first e-ink device. This model had ten buttons down the side, plus page turn buttons. I gave it to a friend, who still uses it.
4. Kobo Mini (Christmas 2012 - January 2022). Sit tibi terra levis.
5. Kobo Aura HD (May 2013, still going strong).
6. Kobo Aura One (September 2016). This remains my main e-reader, and I don't expect to upgrade unless it dies.
7. Onyx Boox Max 2 (March 2018). Used primarily for academic work.
