Thanks VillageReader for the info on TX power. In China you can use both types of US plugs - grounded and ungrounded. There are at least two other types here too, but wall sockets and power strips accommodate them all.

I have had a palm device since 1997. It has years of notes in it, addresses for people I have long forgotten, and familiar pastimes. it is a big plus that I can read on it too!
But you are right that I would have a better reading experience on a light big-screen einked special-purpose reader. I will probably end up with both. But nobody's getting my Palm!
Now is large text important? My eyes are fairly old and I can read the small text on my MP4 player just fine (see another post of mine). I am finding it quite useful to carry a reader that fits in the watch pocket of my jeans. I have several novels on it, and it is quite handy to sit and read at the bank while my wife does her business, or while I sit in the doctor's waiting room.
Portability is important for all reader devices. Do you ever read at your PC? I don't. The eink devices will be great for lounging on the sofa and having the relaxed experience that a book gives us. The Palm device and the MP4 player give another order of portability. The Palm is easily carried, and the MP4 player is so small that there is no reason not to take it everywhere.
Now can we find a way to synch all these devices?
