O.K. this topic is a little goofy but what the heck... The cheapest way I know of to input/edit text on the Sony Reader is through an old PDA. I have a 4-year-old iPaq 3850 Pocket PC with an SD slot. I pop my SD card out of the Reader and stick it into the iPaq where I can edit both text and rtf files. When I put the card back in the Reader, my files are up to date.

You can probably find a functional Pocket PC (with SD slot) for $50 or so on eBay. I know this isn't as nifty as the iLiad's text input, but it's a patch. Does anybody know a cheaper way to edit/input text on the Sony Reader?
