Why can't YOU realize that some of us don't like e-Ink and would like to have a backlit device? I believe you responded to me in much the same way when I stressed my feeling about having a backlight in another thread.
To the original poster: I've been all over trying to find a next generation LCD Backlit device and it seems like the only reading devices coming out are the e-Ink devices we are getting shoved down our throats. I would be willing to fork out up to $300 on a device that supported many of the features you folks have mentioned above. Just for reading. The closest thing to this right now is a small tablet PC which is expensive or a UMPC, which can also be expensive (and both of these options have far more features than I require).
I was wondering what the previous poster who mentioned older Palm devices meant by their backlight type. Is that the Palm with these greenish backlight? Didn't the Hiebook have a backlight like this and many folks considered the eb-1150 to be superior? Just wondering, I've only ever seen pictures of a Hiebook but I was thinking of buying one off eBay.
I really wish Palm would make an e-reading device that was the size of the eb-1150 with an LCD screen. That would be so nice.
