I started with the first palm, moved on to the first Sony Clie. Went through three versions of clie, crappy hp phone, back to a palm T3. Dell pda, MDA cell and then the sony reader. Now the reader is my primary device, but I still read occasionally on my dash because I always have it with me.

Palm Pilot Pro
Sony Clie--s300-- monochrome screen
Sony Clie-- n770c-- Color Screen-- Hi-rez
Sony Clie -- NX 70v -- flip keyboard
Palm T3
HP 6315 PPC cell phone
Dell Axim 51v
tmobile MDA PPC cell phone
Sony Reader
(occasional book on a t-mobile dash)

I don't think reading on these was enjoyable until I got a color screen. It got better when Sony released the clie with a higher resolution screen than palm. I think the Palm T3 with the compact size and the large D-pad is my favorite of the PDAs for reading.
