Is the software you can download now from adobe's webpage compatible with older Palm OSs? I don't care too much about screen quality, but I really like the treo for its keyboard. Would it work at all, or would i spend most of my time fiddling around trying to transfer my ebook collection?
EDIT AGAIN: I imagine a Zire 21 would do the job just fine. There's one used locally for 25. Good price?

The Zire 21 has a low-resolution screen compared to other Palms. If you need a cheap Palm, I would suggest the Zire 71 which has a standard 320x320 screen.
As for ebook formats, PDFs are not the right choice on PDAs due to the limited screen size. Much better to use Plucker, or Mobipocket, or plain txt files with PalmFiction.
