Hi All!
I got myself a Palm T|X and I can't be more pleased with my choice.
The Palm TX costs just a fraction of the e-ink readers, but I can still read almost anything in it.

For those still on the wall, I must urge them to try the TX out. It will allow you the luxury of reading ebooks (I especially recommend the Isilo format among many other choices) without burning a hole in your pockets.

THe battery life is good too.. I recharge it once every 3 days, the text is clear enough, the TX itself neither tiny as most 'smartphones' nor huge as the readers.. its just the right size to read on its screen comfortably as well as drop it into your pant or shirt or coat pockets. It turns on instantly, Isilo remembers where and which page you were on last time you shut the app down, and much of the preferences suited for tweaking.

I am a power reader, still am glad i made the choice. Now I can put off buying an e-ink reader for another year hoping the prices will come down.

Regards!
