Well, I like it so, I guess it's time to get an SD card and set up the programs on my laptop.. and tear down the old PC (time to recycle it, I guess).  |
If I recall correctly, the m130 doesn't take SD cards larger than 1GB, and doesn't handle SDHC cards at all. So you should be able to get SD cards for it cheap, but yuo'll have to make sure they are compatible.
I started reading eBooks on a Handspring Visor Deluxe, which is similar to the m130 by has a grey-scale rather than color screen. You have a variety of options for ebook reading. These days, I use a Tapwave Zodiac, which is also a Palm OS device as my main reader.
Most ebooks are conversions from HTML for the Plucker offline HTML viewer, a free, open source product for Palm OS. Among other things, I have the complete Baen Free Library and a boatload of Project Gutenberg titles. I also run eReader, MobiPocket Reader, PalmPDF and PalmFiction, and can handle just about any form of ebook content.
When you get to that point, let me know, and I can provide pointers.
