Why not a book reader? It will do the job but I expect it to have an LCD screen.
I use an EEE once in a while to read and It's not quite pleasing to the eye. Ever tried watching a movie on an iPod? I definitely will not repeat that.

And then there's the battery time we know nothing of. But mainly, eink is better suited to books. And since I have one...

No need to be touchy, I'm a simple user, with absolutely no programming experience, that's what I meant.
I have used aPple products since 198* with the first LC20 and I cursed at them as much as Windows and Linux.

Oh, and I've been married for 31 years so I have no use fer my parent's basement and that lovely girl she's my daughter and a mod on this site.


And why is this d***** place always considered a war zone anyhow?
