Hi folks,

I have an old Newton Messagepad 2000 that still works fine, and I'm wondering how well it might work as an eBook reader. I'll go ahead and experiment, but I wondered if anyone else here has been using one, and what their experience was?

The main problems I can think of are the limits in text file size and the nuisance of getting content in and out (ironically enough, my Mac doesn't have a serial port, though the PCs in the house do).
