cassiopeia A-20, or even an older version Cassiopeia A-11.
it has large LDC display - not the modern LCD but the kind seen on old digital watches.
- *large* screen (much larger than a typical PDA)
- robust clam-shell construction
- processor and memory are slow/small enough to make the device almost wortheless as PDA - it means you can buy one for peanuts
- there is almost no SW aviable, but I have been reading ebooks using built-in Word for years. - so it is almost unuseable as PDA and therfore cheap.
- it has qwerty keyborad. You can replace strange characters in book files, you can search files, you can [almost] touch type notes
- it has interface for CF card. You load it with 1GB card amd you can carry entire library on it
- (for Cassiopeia A-11 you have to use a standard PCMCIA adapter for CF card (available for 10 bucks))
