No, it just plain wouldn't work, because the eInk screen is opaque

I transferred to the Reader from an iPaq 4700, the same machine as the original poster was using, and for me it's like chalk and cheese - Reader wins hands down, simply in terms of the screen clarity and size. Being a 6" rather than a 4" screen, Reader has 2.4x the screen area, and that makes all the difference in the world. The only change I've made to my mainly reading in bed habits has been to go out and buy a good reading lamp.
